Are you out in the sticks or stuck on the end of some extra long mains?

Nope?

If so why should anyone else pay the extra costs of getting power,
water, sewage, phones to you?

Because it's not 'your fault' where you live (you may be born there)
and the supply of basic services is the right of everyone (within
reason) and therefore the costs of the more difficult sites would be
covered by the easy ones.

It may not be your fault but you could pay the amount it costs to
provide those service rather than stealing other peoples cash that don't
have such high costs.
Do you see where your argument leads?

BTW who decides what is "within reason" and why should *they* get to do it?
