Should you live in a more rural area, however, you will likely have to live with the slower methods of access as there is simply not enough demand to warrant fiber, for example, to be installed. It would end up costing more money for the companies involved than they would receive, so it doesn’t make financial sense. Rural areas are more likely to remain using copper wire systems which are, unfortunately, much slower and more prone to service interruptions. Some very unlucky people may not even have access to copper and have to rely on 4G modems. I personally know a couple of people in this situation; it is not a nice one to be in if you are a particularly heavy Internet user.
