Is it that much due to living in the rural area and you’re paying a loan off that build the infrastructure for you to have gigabit internet in the country??!
Yeah, sorta. Nobody would provide internet to where I live, so I finally convinced a company to trench fiber to my house for me.
Unfortunately I'm paying $500/mo for like 96 months now so they can offset the cost.
Worth it though. My alternative was 512kbps DSL that would have outages daily and I'm a remote software engineer. It just didn't work.
