I wish I had fiber. I get 100 Mb from T-Mobile 5g and 80 from spectrum. I've had two significant gaps in coverage from T-Mobile, but I also had internet during a power outage with a generator and an extension cord, which was huge.

For 50$, I'll take that over a more consistent 80mb for 100-120$.

Definitely a rural thing, less 5g congestion and all. a physical line makes way more sense in a city, ideally fiber, but 5g internet has a pretty big niche.
