China has launched the world’s first commercial 10-Gigabit (10G) broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province, with a significant deployment in Xiong’an New Area, a high-tech city being developed as a smart metropolis. The initiative, a collaboration between Huawei and state-owned China Unicom, went live on 20 April 2025.
I’ve been able to get 8GBps fibre home internet for the last 5 years in rural Canada. I doubt this is the first 10GBps commercial broadband network.
This is cellular though
I’m paying 160$cad for 300mbps, regular GPON service in rural :(
Fibre access is not evenly distributed, some places only have satellite access as an option. Meanwhile Rogers just ran fibre down our road so now we have the option to use Bell or Rogers.
And I’m still on DSL, no more than 10 Mbps… Fuck us rural people, right?
You need to look into LTE and 5G modems
Nobody gives us service out here, I’ve checked with Verizon, TMobile, and AT&T. Best I have is my cellphone, which I can use as a hotspot, and it’s typically only on 4G/LTE. I’ve gotten 5G connections a few times, but rarely.
It took me 2 days to download a 90 GB game, and I can’t play anything online because the connection will just drop.
As much as I hate to say it, because Fuck Musk, Starlink really is as good as they say in rural areas like yours. FiL has had it since the early beta and it was transformative for him. Streaming is now as good as wired broadband and “no lag” video calls are as well. It drops out very 20 min or so for a minute since the constellation isn’t complete yet but that has been getting better year over year.
Again, Musk is a massive choad, but this is the only decent option for people without anything good.
If you get 4G on your phone, then build a LTE modem and use it, you can use 2x2 or 4x4 antennas as well and increase the signal significantly.
Go here, get a 4G modem for cheap. 5G if you want to try your hand on it. But a 4G modem should get you much much better signal than your phone. Then go get a plan, use this site.

Lot of people use this plan if you have ATT

Which ever provider you’re phone is getting the best signal on, go with them.
Seriously, at my old farm I had 4g and was doing 30mbs down and 5 up and none of our phones had service. Once I put in the mimo antenna I had Internet. I still use a mobley plan at my new place, thankfully fiber is finally gonna be here soon.
But don’t deal with not having access. Seriously 4g is prevalent enough in the usa that you shouldn’t be without it now.
Also ignore all the idiots who say this can’t be done on a phone plan. It %100 can, and if you’re rural enough, more than likely very few people will be connecting to your tower and you will not see deprioritizing.
If you need help, let me know and I’ll get you setup. I dealt with this crap for years until I figured it all out.
At the moment I’m happy with my old school 600Mb conection
Cry’s in 100/20Mb
The best I can do for the price and consistency is Verizon 5G home internet and it’ll fluctuate between 80Mbps and 300Mbps down. Upload at best 30Mbps. Not lucky to live in a fiber neighborhood. All the cable providers are worse than 5G alternatives though I’m certain the 5G services will get worse with age
That cable/wiring setup is going to be expensive
It’s cellular
Oh wow!! Now that’s impressive
It’s so fast, that nobody can afford it. If more than five people have it, it’s because they are the billionaires that owned the network.
That’s why it’s so amazing, you won’t have it for 20 years.
You really don’t need to be a billionaire to afford crazy internet speeds (if you want them). You can get a 100G port from pretty much any ISP for ~$8k/mo, or even cheaper if you are willing to have a bandwidth cap. Then assuming you really want it, you’d have to pay to get the fiber laid to your home, which can be a few hundred thousand dollars depending on how far away you are. Of course this is ridiculous for home internet, but it is within reach for people that are way poorer then billionaires.
