Duh: Rural towns usually have terrible Internet. Who would want to live with that every day‽
In my experience this isn’t always the case. A small town I lived in once had gigabit for $80/month whereas the city I lived in before that had 250mbps internet for something absurd like $270/month and it even had a bandwidth cap.
I think some small internet companies just didn’t get the memo on enshitification.

With the way rural voters get disproportionate voting power its insane that rural broadband isn’t everywhere. Shows how money interests take over rural interests in that party
