Dude… try rural Illinois. The only internet I can get faster than 3mbps is cellular hotspot, and that’s supposed to be 5G but is usually actually 4G out here. That’s it. I can get dial-up, DSL, cable that is somehow slower than DSL and constantly disconnects, or hotspot from AT&T.
America is far from the best example of decent internet access if you live more than a few miles from a major urban hub. In fact, in rural areas, your options are not only stupidly limited, but also criminally expensive. For land-based internet at 3mbps where I live costs $6 more per month than my sister-in-law’s GB Fiber 20 miles away, and has data caps to boot. It’s insane.
Yea Illinois internet disparity is awful. ISP prices suck and it’s usually either Comcast, AT&T, or no Internet.
Mobile coverage only gets better the closer you get to Chicago, but in the middle of Chicago it’s hit or miss and there are random dead zones everywhere in the city.
Who uses their phone data at home?
I assume countries that have affordable data plans from ISPs, but still…
Lots of countries only have mobile data to homes. Think African countries, India, Pakistan, then you’ve got Vietnam etc, with villages on rivers.

Big parts of Europe has. I pay about €17 for unlimited 5G.
I have wifi at home of course but I still mostly use cellular cus it’s faster lol
My wifi doesn’t reach my bedroom. Really should fix it.
