Middle of nowhere between fields: I have 5g router and 300+mbps

If you're pulling 5G you're not remote.

Brother, we have wildly different definitions of "nowhere" if you get 5G. When I lived in a rural shithole in the US, I had to drive 100 miles to start picking up 5G signals (though that was just before the pandemic, so maybe 5G coverage has improved greatly in the past 3 years).

Closest town is 55km away

Shit man, I used to commute almost that exact distance each way. Anything under triple digits is practically in-town in many places.
