    Elamys, my best advise. Make every wait.2 a wait.4 and every wait.3 a wait.5. Avoid evenings, netflix lag is real. No idea of your seclude but think about waking up a bit early and crafting during breakfast because there will probably be fewer people online and sucking bandwith then.

    Now I am going to get political on you but not in a bad way.

    I too live in a rural area. I have fiber to my wall and the second lowest electrical rates in the USA. This is because my electricity comes from a public utility district (look this up) which owns the full vertical shebang. Parts of several dams, the transmission lines and their right of way, the transformers, everything.

    In most of the country the electrical companies might own nothing. They buy electricity on an exchange, they pay transmission companies to get it to you and then bill you. The transmission companies have no incentive to run fiber like my PUD did. You will get a decent connection when they get a government subsidy to provide it.

    But even privately owned electrical companies that are full vertical, like New York's Con Edison, who could reduce costs and generate income from fiber like my PUD did, are waiting for that subsidy.

    Sorry but stories like yours touch a nerve with me.
