The D.C. Suburbs also have some of the highest-income households in the country. Low-income households buy less home Internet by FAR (low income people use cell phones and mobile data). That absolutely factors in.

It's not just rich suburbs. Here is a completely random building in Anacostia: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.8595932,-76.9871194,3a,75y,1.... If you punch in the address to various providers, apparently it can get fiber through Verizon or Comcast, or gigabit cable through Comcast or RCN.
