If you drive out of a populated area across the US, nearly all of it is very sparsely populated, and therefore has terrible internet. 18% of Americans live in these areas, and that’s 54 million people. That’s a lot of frustrated individuals! Even in more populated rural areas like Ohio, you might get cable (but not fiber) to the nearest village, but even a half mile out of town, it’s only DSL (6mbps down on a good day).
