Here in Ireland, i am living in a rural location half hour drive from small city (70k people) and have 1000/100mbit fiber to home.

Used to be fairly bad "up to" 3mbit wifi wireless, then 70mbit "4g" wireless, with serious contention in evenings and issues everytime wind or rain occurred (which is every day in west of ireland!)

The government has a plan to connecting everyone to fiber, this forced the local at&t like company (eir/eircon) to try connect as many people as they could, which they done with surprising speed
