And there are plenty of places in the USA with literally no wireline 
connectivity aside from POTS who rely on LTE or local WISPs to deliver 
bits, and they're doing well to give them 100M (capped or pay-by-the-GB 
on LTE, typically) and often much less.  There's also plenty of places 
where wireline speeds max out around 50-75Mbps in practice, even if the 
local MSO says you can get more.

The divide keeps getting bigger.
