I live in a rural area (not a single Starbucks in the county), and in 50% of the town, my phone has 5GUW coverage. I can download apps, playlists, and movies quickly. I recently downloaded UPBGE (430MB) on my iPhone in only a few minutes. This wasn’t possible on LTE and is worth the extra $10 for me.

I find your definition of a “rural area” hilarious.

The lack of a corporate coffee store does not necessarily mean it’s a rural area. Been to plenty of small population counties and there was at least one starcrack store in the area, including a McDiabetes, and other low cost crap.

Usually a rural area is defined upon the population size and density.
