I wouldn't say tech illiterate so much as ignorant or they truly don't care.

Unlimited plans and monthly financing means even a homeless person can get a really decent phone with great service. I'm surprised when I see anyone with more than a phone or tablet.

ISPs won't even upgrade services is low income areas because no one buys internet service. They just don't need it.
