The US has historically, and continues to, invest a lot of money into improving or maintaining rural life. Without those efforts I guarantee there'd be fewer people living that way.

Some rural relatives of mine thanked me for the very nice fiber internet they got to their door, in the middle of their farmland. This was years before I ever got fiber… and even to this day, I still don’t have the option of fiber of where I live.

I had FiOS for a brief glorious time though!
