There are a good number of homes out here in the middle of nowhere that are strung out over a fair distance, but there's an overhead powerline running up the valley behind them with a spur off to each house, or group of houses. The power lines are overhead to the point of property entry in many cases. Those where the final approach is buried still have the final pole within a couple of dozen metres from the property.

We'd all love super-fast fibre broadband - none of us can get more than 8Mb, most get no more than 2-3 and nobody north of me gets anything at all.
