A lot of us are spoiled by easily accessible network services. I'm about 5 miles inside the zone that allows me to get (albeit slow) DSL from my phone company, and there are no cable or other high speed options in my area (save for satellite, and even then I don't have a clear shot at the sky). I live less than 40 miles outside of the city limits of a major metropolitan area.
