> What would ideally mean "good internet access?"

For someone who relies on a internet connection for their professional work I'd say 100 Mbps is the floor of "good" in 2024. I think that's what the FCC updated their definition of broadband to earlier this year.

Thank you! Turns out I was missing 'Urban' category, so Cumberland itself still has 99% of households with >100 Mbps available.
ROFLMAO. I dream of 100Mbps. The only thing my ISP can guarantee is that it will be "at least" 10Mbps.

Unfortunately, knowing that fiber is a mere 0.5 miles from my house doesn't help me in the slightest.
