That’s what the subsidies are for. Plus, fiber does not necessarily need to be upgraded after installation (especially rural, where there’s less customers in general). It’s not copper or coax, it doesn’t have the same limits, and can usually handle terabit speeds.

But yes, without the local, state, and/or federal governments supporting it, people in rural areas won’t have a choice.
