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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kieron115@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago Verizon is finally laying fiber optic in western maryland.
