I live in a rural area, and broadband is non-existant. Comcast will not run c
able in places where there are less than 20 houses per mile. There are 5
houses on the 1 mile section of road I'm on. Cell reception is crap because
the carriers won't put up towers in the middle of nowhere. I have to use
satellite, and the area is rolling hills so line of sight WISP is
non-existant. In the township north of me they gt grany money and Midwest Ene
rgy ran fiber all over the township. I'm a half mile on the wrong side of
the township border. I'm hoping my township follows through and applies for
the grant money to run fiber. My neighbor down the road tried out a T-mobile
5g gateway, and they couldn't get a solid enough signal.
