If they are so rural ISPs won’t take them, why would a cell company deploy 5G in a super sparse area?
For example TMO and VZW will only hand out home cell modem if you live within half mile of a major interstate. If not out of luck aside from Starlink.
Well I tried it for home Internet and it was mostly fine but was a little less reliable than wired. I think reliability is important.
