Wow, tough situation. It’s a shame that infrastructure is slow to reach rural areas. I understand the ROI standpoint - there are fewer clients, after all - but the government should subsidize more infra to those places. I’m sure more people would be OK moving to rural areas if they had better internet access - I know a lot of people who would, specially those whose work doesn’t demand on-site presence every day. This movement would decrease city density and, ultimately, would be better for everyone.
It’s good that you have options, but I wish you wouldn’t need to shell out 2K to access it.
