my tiny rural hometown in the middle of fucking nowhere southwest United States got 10Gbps fiber to every home in the town last year, and 1G fiber in 2021 as a result of Biden’s infrastructure bill. that fiber cost $45/month for 1Gbit with no data caps - before that, the best we could get was 50Mbit on rickety wireless service.
