I've been researching rural "broadband" for my son, who lives in the sprawling metropolis of Rich Hill, MO. Despite living within 100' of a major North/South Interstate highway, his options are shitty, shittier, and shittiest. At best, he can get a 25mbps satellite pipe at $80/month with a 12gb monthly data cap, which gets throttled to 1 mbps if you go over it. Cost? $85 after taxes. Sucks. Every other option is slower and more expensive and requires a phone line because it is all DSL.
