Now imagine yourself trying to buy and sell online from the prairie?  It really is like living in two different eras (and part of why flyover states stay that way).  It’s like this. If we wanted a high speed railroad, we would have to figure out how to include everybody. You can’t fund a patchwork of lousy roads AND a highway you’re charging high tolls for.  Make it cheap, completely universal, you know, like interstate highways…..   this country is so fixated on not giving away a nickel’s worth of those precious bits per second, they’d rather carry around their own railroad and lay track every day, lest some hobo use the rails for free.  So called third world countries set up internet, and it’s rock simple and cheap.  Why? Because they realize if they don’t subsidize and make it available for everyone, the provinces will suffer, and be divided from the cities. Oh they might even elect reactionaries who tear down the wires rather than let a nickel’s worth of SpongeBob go to the poor. 

Congratulations Nick!

Did you fiber?

Yes, I believe I had 30 mbps with the same provider at the last house which was plenty fast for me, but dropping down to 0-3 mbps has been terrible for providing you guys videos and I haven’t been able to enjoy your films either. 70 mbps is now the slowest they can offer and I did a speed test and I’m actually getting 72-73 mbps
