In my area OpenReach is planning to roll out their ultrafast fibre "by 2026". Not great. Couple miles out of Newcastle so not exactly middle of nowhere either.

The situation in the UK is shockingly bad. Openreach need to pull their finger out.

It's patchy - I've got FTTP in Warwickshire, and also have the option of Virgin Cable (I'd rather not).

But yes, if an area is in a "not spot" you're stuffed - which is why things like B4RN took off.
