To be honest it’s not even a poor or live in the sticks problem as far I know. I live in the Netherlands, a country with one of the best communications infrastructure in the world and also a rich country, pretty much everyone has fibre unless you’re in some real rural places.

Pleb’s internet connection still sucks here with these ridiculous 1Gbit/s connection speeds, because they put one Chinese crapware router down in the corner of their house and expect the WLAN signal to be useful after going through 7 walls, a whole floor and like 10+ meters.

That Experia Box 12 isn’t even sending a stable 250Mbit over WLAN if you were right on top of it.
