I live in semi-rural Canada and get better service than that, but I would be fine with more downtime. OTOH, I frequently have scheduled power outage times that exceed that metric so it sort of doesn't matter, and that's ignoring unscheduled power outages (a necessary part of life in a temperate rain forest with above ground power). I've taken to keeping a small generator handy to power the modem.

Our Internet + phone service go down if there's a power outage, which implies the cell network also goes down in practice. The tower might be up and on backup power, but it either has nothing to talk to or it's completely overwhelmed.
