Telecoms are improving connections in areas with more demand before upgrading all connections in areas with less demand, news at eleven.

Cities inherently have better infrastructure due to their density. It's the entire point of cities, and it's why suburbs have such bad issues with potholes and power outages. It's just not financially viable to build out the latest infrastructure for sprawling suburbia.

Wait a second, are you trying to tell me that the Telecoms are doing the same thing they’ve done since 2.5G?

Since the advent of data transmission over cable, this has always been the case.
