    Worth adding that underserved land-based geos are *also* under-served by wireless. "4 bars" doesn't mean much if cells are over-provisioned or are deployed at low density. Impact: 30+% reductions in speed on the "same" networks: https://www.opensignal.com/2019/09/24/mobile-experience-in-rural-usa-an-operator-comparison … /via @cydharrellhttps://twitter.com/routefifty/status/1235320373006262272 …

        Or have limited backhaul. Happens a lot, got it myself on a touristy peninsula once. Good SNR, NO useful connection. On a hike went and looked at a BTS. No wireline connection, just a (small!) microwave going tower, to tower, to tower, for like 20 miles. Awesome.

        So, the mobile networks of course aren’t better because they need a wireline network to get the internet from them, to anywhere. Worse: there’s enough dark fiber to feed a lot of this demand. But “not worth it” to the telecoms who own it.

        There was a talk on Chrome Dev Summit if i remember correctly how 4G is usually 3G or less and phone network bars are most of the time lying/guessing on which network you are. It was backed by a use case. Can't find the talk now sadly, my google skills are failing me.
