Rural internet connection is only going to get better so cutting the cord will be easier and better. And good riddance, Dish is a notoriously bad employer and they have been hoarding wireless spectrum while not using it.

They are also actively shitty to their customers from everything I've seen.

Yeah, I live in a rural area, and in the past few years my internet went from 3Mb/s DSL to 1000Mb/s fiber. Previously people on my road had to use Dish, but seems a lot of people are glad to drop it as soon as they get a good alternative option.
