"Check email" is comfortably accomplished with dial up connection speeds.
Streaming video not so much, but there's always satellite service for that kind of thing.
Not to say that rural areas don't have a problem with good internet access, but they don't have good access to a lot of other services either. That's why they are called "rural"

FYI if you want to get a feel for what browsing at different connection speeds is like there's a setting on the Network tab in the Chrome dev tools that will allow you to do that.
