Why is it hard for rural areas to get home internet even if they have good phone service?

Edit: *good cellphone data service*

What’s the difference between watching Netflix on mobile vs home internet? Why can’t a similar technology of radiowaves or satellite be used?

There are specialized providers that give you internet via anntenna instead of phone cable.

Home phone “copper” cable is very bad for data, the further you are from the fiber hub the more data you lose. So rural areas will be served with antennas in the future. It is unpractical to bring the fiber close enough.
