5g can cover a lot of rural areas, it's not universal, but it's a lot more available than fiber or cable.
There are certainly a lot of holes in the coverage, but a lot of people I know who live in pretty rural farm areas went from pretty unreliable microwave internet, to extremely reliable 5g internet a couple years ago.
That's not going to be the solution for everyone, but it does work to (relatively) quickly get internet to a pretty big area.
