This is yet another thing the Republicans have been attacking (funding for rural broadband providers). Our rural areas are actually extremely well covered. Most of the midwest is fibered up. My local co-op’s minimum offered speed is 350x350.
I'm in a rural place and I just have DSL for my house and LTE for my phone. Lived here 20 years and that's the worst thing about it.
My condolences. We have one last office to convert at the coop I work for. We’ll be 100% fiber by the end of the year. Hope your ISP is close as well.
