I'm in a rural area, the ONLY options are either point to point wireless or
some 5G service from a cell provider. Obviously I went with the point to point
wireless option, where I'm lucky to get 75 Mb/s downloads and 20 Mb/s upload
speeds. When I lived in town we did have fiber service with 300 Mb/s which I
sorely miss.
The current service "suffices." We're able to stream to 4 TVs in HD including
one that's 4K. Gaming is usually good. I work from home, but most of what I
do is either over an ssh connection or browser based over a VLAN. For the most
part it does what I need it to do. Given the alternatives, I'd rather live out
here on my 15+ acres with 50-100 Mb/s service than be in town...
