Just a random anecdote about rural internet as I live in one of the most rural counties in Indiana (not a single interstate passes into the county) and I don’t live within the limits of any town. There isn’t even a Wal-Mart in the county!
When I first moved into my house 8 years ago I had one option for real internet and it was Comcast at a max 100 mbps download(several local providers offered service at a max of up to 2 mbps or similar speeds.) Over time they have increased that up to 300 (after T-Mobile started offering 4g home internet.) Just recently a company ran a fibre optic line down my road and is promising gig speed internet. The line is ran but service isn’t operating yet. Not coincidentally, I have an email from Xfinity saying on 4/2 I won’t have internet due to upgrades being done in my area. I checked the website and I can now sign up for speeds up to 1.5 gbps speed.
The only thing that has improved broadband in my area is competition.
