I just bought a home in "rural" Texas only 1 hour outside of downtown Houston. Cell service is definitely spotty out here. The final selling point on this home was that it's serviced by AT&T Fiber. So I have gigabit internet. If AT&T goes dark for some reason -- I lose power, they lose power, someone cuts the line, whatever -- then I can't access the internet and can't call anyone unless I drive for a few minutes. Offline first is a good thing to have but we do not have "better mobile networks" and "no internet" is only a rare case if you've stuck your head in a city. At my folks' place on the other side of Houston there's zero bars of cell service sitting on their couch. But if I stand up then I get full voice and data cell service.
