Internet is good in metro areas.  I'm sure rural is spotty.  When we had COVID, the schools had 
issues with getting on-line schooling working. 1) holes in internet coverage, 2) lack of computers 
for children, 3) the software/net to make the whole thing work.   Let alone getting the children to 
use them.

After a while they got it working.  Don't know the stats, but I'm pessimistic and think less than 
100%.  The low income parts of every city in the US has families that have issues feeding the family 
let alone buying a laptop or internet.  Donations were made by a lot of large companies, especially 
the local companies.
