Nah the internet sucks no matter where you live. That cottage with a closed network or something like Secure Scuttlebutt/Manyverse in a little village would be cool though. The town library can have gigabit internet (for downloading media) and a shared local Jellyfin (& calibre, Navidrome, audiobookshelf, etc) server that can be accessed by anyone in town.
Want to play Live Service or online games? To the library. Publish your website or music album or artwork outside of the local loop? To the library. Online classes? To the library.
My gaming rig weighs like 90lb, I'll be running CAT6 to the library thanks
Or just keep your rig at the library. Makes it so you’re around when the library LAN parties start.
