Reply to comment by rocketnateynate in Broadband for Under $50? In Mississippi and Arkansas, You're Out of Luck by Sorin61

The article is quoting data about the percentage of the populace with access to affordable high speed internet. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist in some places, but it's not largely available.

This is also somewhat inaccurate.. There are 17 electric coops in MS alone covering the majority of the state, all providing reliable, synchronous, high-speed fiber to the home, among other services. Other carriers like ATT and CSpire have also vastly extended their networks to cover more areas. The one coop I am familiar with has 1900 miles of fiber covering 5+ counties, passing 30k members, and is one of the smaller ones. 3 years ago it wasn't largely available, but that has changed.
