"are still homes with" is doing a lot of work in that sentence; Cable is by far the most common home internet and plans typically top out around 30mbit. Some places still have DSL as the only option and that's single-digit mbit uploads.
There's fiber in my town, but it doesn't reach my house yet and reviews are middling at best, with outages being regular and lasting for hours.

I’m sorry, it appears ignoring problems specific to some flyover states in my follow up comment was a bit too subtle.
Somewhat ironically, the only time I've had a symmetric broadband connection was in a flyover state. I live 2 miles from the Pacific ocean and am stuck with the same "Cable or DSL" choice that much of the country has.
