Oh man, I empathize. I'm writing this from the literal end of the internet: our cable (Comcast) comes off the last pole with coax on it.
We spent today taking a look at properties, and the internet situation goes downhill fast from where we presently rent from DSL to "unknown". HughesNet is an option, but it's an iffy option for latency reasons, and Starlink is crazy pricey. Cellular is a total non-starter: there is none.
Our realtor lives on a road with a bunch of people willing to pony up to get decent internet, but they can't get the ISP to actually run media down the road because it's too few houses, never mind that there's money on the table.
So if you're a web developer, please know that there are real folks in the USA who have legitimately lousy internet options in 2021. In our case, it's self inflicted, but I'm going to make some sweeping assumptions based on the houses we drove by and say it isn't a matter of choice for everybody.
