      Got a nice fibre-optic connection, have you? Try throttling that to <10Mbps and you might understand what some people have to deal with. DSL at 10Mbps from an evil corporation, or 150Mbps from an evil corporation, hmmmmm, what a choice.

      It’s easy to shit on the owner, but have some sympathy for folk who don’t have a reasonable alternative.

        Hear hear!

        Everyone is like “Move out of the city, live a life closer to nature” but also “If you use the only service that truly enables that you suck!”

        I’ll take what I can get until something as good or better comes along.

          Verizon is finally laying fiber optic in western maryland. I can’t wait to ditch Starlink and save ~$100 a month in the process.
