I grew up in bumblefuck Maine, and we had cable TV run in the 90s, with cable internet since at least the early 2000s. My parents get close to 500 mb/s now on their basic package from Spectrum. I suspect that being far enough out from Portland and Bangor that over-the-air TV never worked well was a bonus for getting cable built out.
