What are they? Satellite internet? I don’t think so.
Hughes is satellite. My brother uses it for homeschooling his kids out in the boondocks of western NY on the family homestead. It’s kick-ass fast.
Lots of rural areas including mine have wireless connections that are quite fast. Wireless Internet providers are putting in more towers to provide service.
Not every single area can receive a good signal because of the terrain, but that is changing with the addition of new towers being built.
WISPs are growing even into urban areas:

My county of about 900 square miles has 100% wireless internet coverage using a small CPE antenna as shown in the photos at this link. Cost is comparable to cable, cheaper than satellite. This technology is NOT wi-fi. A good approach is to light up fiber to an area and then use wireless to distribute the internet signal across “the last mile”.
