There are large areas 35 miles from DC that have no public sewer or water either. (My parents’ house, for example, has neither, but does have fiber.) But what percentage of the population does that account for? Around DC, very little.

In Akamai’s 2017 report, Maryland’s %-age of connections above 10 mbps (easily enough to do Remote Desktop) was 79%, just below South Korea and above Switzerland. Virginia and the district itself were around 75%, the same as Switzerland.

And, more to the point, some people not having public water and sewerage systems doesn't stop us selling toilets or taps.

Well that analogy doesn’t hold because you still use toilets and taps in those well and septic areas near DC the author is referring to.

You can still use cloud products in areas where there's not fibre/ultra-broadband internet. You just have to put up with a little bit of shit every now and then - much like having a backyard septic!
