Download, Surf, Play Games and Stream with Confidence in Rural Areas
Internet in rural areas is very different than in the city. It very much varies from region to region, but there are a few common coordinates:
- penetration of broadband Internet services is limited;
- choice of Internet service providers is scarce;
- connectivity infrastructure is old or even non existent.
Many users in rural areas are complaining about low speeds. A recent article showed that rural Internet speeds in Pennsylvania are slower than previously thought. Outside of parts of Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Philadelphia, the rest of the state is under the 25 Mbps FCC minimum for broadband download speed. Some parts struggle with 0-3 Mbps speeds.
So – how can you get faster Internet in rural areas? Simple – use Speedify fast bonding VPN to combine 2 or more connections.

How to Get Fast Internet in Rural Areas: Why Aren’t ISPs Investing in Infrastructure
Broadband infrastructure has costs associated to it which Internet service providers are not yet willing to spend. Broadband lobby groups are arguing that Internet service is similar to utilities such as electricity, gas distribution, roads, and water and sewer networks. So, the government should give ISPs more money.
According to the latest FCC Broadband Deployment Report, in rural areas:
- 68.6% of Americans have access to both fixed terrestrial services at 25 Mbps/3 Mbps and mobile LTE at speeds of 5 Mbps/1 Mbps
- approximately 14 million rural Americans still lack mobile LTE broadband at speeds of 10 Mbps/3 Mbps
The most frequent services available for Internet in rural areas are satellite and/or DSL. Each of them has their pros and cons. Bottom line – if you want to be able to download, surf, play online games or stream without buffering in rural areas, get 2 or more connections. And combine them at once using Speedify fast bonding VPN!
