Are there a lot of gamers in rural areas? Do the rural ISPs have challenges with reaching gaming servers.

No more than any other network anywhere. We provide 1Gb/s
symmetrical (only, slower is pointless market rationing) in
rural Scotland. It might even be considered better than the
asymmetric 100 to 300Mb/s common to gpon, UK providers
are now going higher due to competition.

I do not know if gaming or caching or both a challenge for rural isps due to being distant from population centers and 
possibly caches

It's all bits. You have to have enough wherever you build, for games
or Neflix fight club.
