Before buying my current house (in a suburb of Minneapolis), I checked with the ISP I was using at the previous one, and was assured they served the new address. Bought the place, moved in, called to setup internet. Oh, sorry, we don't serve your street.
Had to put up with Hughesnet until I could get Starlink.
What we have learned from the DMCA is that it's a horrible idea. The vast majority of DMCA notices are erroneous junk created by automated systems. It's used for censorship and economic sabotage.
