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.

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.
