I’ve have the same complaints and problems. I live 12 miles from the largest city in my state, I do not have cable available, cell service is good for voice, but bad to nonexistent for data, and home internet speeds have finally risen into double digits-DSL, for my home. The cost is in triple digits.
I really don’t like the push for wireless connectivity that Apple and others are trying to force on rural communities. I can’t use Apple Music or Spotify or any other streaming service even if I wanted to. Not and be able to walk across the street. I leave my house WiFi and streaming is dead. And driving I’d have 50-100 miles I could go north or west and have a couple of minutes tops when I could use streaming services. Look at any providers coverage map and I’m in good to great zones. Voice I do have coverage, data I don’t. I’m not holding my breath waiting for it to arrive here either.
It's an odd feeling for us as it is for you as well when people are asking for 5G and you're just wanting LTE that gets you from home to work without switching to 3G (or in my case 1X) which is basically non-existent internet when web-pages are multiple megabytes now.
I feel your pain! Instead of 5G, can we please get nationwide LTE coverage first?
