Dish networks supply the internet. Just subscribe to some satellite company and you’ll have it along with TV and whatever. I’ve driven through desolate wastes of ND/SD and was able to connect to the internet through my cellphone. I’ve seen dish antenna’s on pretty much all of those houses I could see from the interstate.

The definition of broadband access is true 25 Mbps downloads. Satellite connections as of now don’t meet this threshold and the latency is problematic. I may not know much, but of this I know plenty after twenty years in the business.
