No.
Copper cable can be just as reliable as fiber. There are physical limitations and mitigations with both.

Availability, service reliability, price, and support all matter more than the particular technology being used.

- Fiber is no good at all if it isn't available.
- 5G is not a good option at the limit of the cell where service is spotty
- Cable is not a good choice if the price is high

I would take a 100Mbps service in the $45 price range from a company that doesn't have a lot of complaints regardless of how it was provided.
