I'm not that far from town but there aren't enough houses that fiber is going to happen. Conventional cable never did either. I only have a few OTA TV stations but most people have dishes for their TV fix. I had been using copper. I have a Kindle back when they had 3G option. I didn't think too much about it but it was a revelation when I was sitting on the deck reading and it connected to the network. The light bulb went off and I was at the Verizon store the next day. My existing provider did have a wireless option but their antenna was on the wrong mountain and I didn't have any line of sight.
