So Anecdata for me. I live in the rural west highlands in a village of 200 people. I have 900/100 FTTP and 4G connectivity is available anywhere in the village on EE. With lack of contention you can get 100Mbps down stream over 4G I did have to pay for the FTTP install (FTTPoD) but when compared to the reduction in property prices it was easily offset. Even without extra money for FTTPoD, the village has FTTC and a couple of cabinets so most get decent coverage, and the houses next to the exchange have straight FTTP.

Ok maybe I should reconsider moving there, last time I visited (just before Covid hit) I had the impression that most smaller settlements have very poor connectivity (both mobile and from talks with people living there).

  yeah it's definitely still worth checking where the local cabinets are and distance to any property, but it's possible to get good Internet in most areas, and property (outside of places like Skye that are super-popular with tourists) are a lot lower than cities like Edinburgh. I've lived here 7 years and gone from using 3 Bonded DSL lines to get 12Mb/s to where I am now over that period.
