Reply to comment by Wild_Garlic in Rather than heralding a new era of prosperity for rural and remote regions, remote working, inspired by the pandemic, is exacerbating the global urban-rural divide in the digital platform labour market by giuliomagnifico

As for 1 - it depends where you live. There is 2Gbit fiber available where I live (rural, outskirts of the 4k people town) and it delivers advertised speed.

Yeah, my mom is 20 miles outside of a 3000 person town. She pays $50/month for 200mbps (Gbit is available). That's less than I pay in Minneapolis. Internet availability and pricing makes zero sense.
