5G in rural America is terrible. I can't make a phone call in my house, let alone get an internet connection. I'm not even in a particularly remote area.
There are Starlink dishes everwhere you look here because it's currently the only real option. It will probably be a while until they get some competition from Amazon.
Because they lobbied to shutdown running fiber to your community.
The local ISP has been promising fiber for over a decade. They waited until Starlink took most of their customers before they started putting it in.
