I'm a few miles outside of a small town of about 2000. We have a small independent phone company that keeps up with things. We now have fiber optic internet. We have 25 mbps which is enough to run 2 computers and Netflilx on the tv at the same time. They have much faster service, too, if it's needed for businesses.
My farm is in a rural area outside a town of about the same size. I’ve been on the starlink waiting list for over a year. The local phone/cable provider is about to beat them with getting fiber to me. Local provider will be cheaper too
