My house is gigabit, everything else as a standard should be as well, IMO.
It should be, but you underestimate how many communities have limited access still.
We would have more line laid but telecoms pocketed the money since Congress didn't put any performance requirements in the bill or contracts.
Oh, no, rural broadband and the telco money pit that was going to make it a reality are very real and I consider myself lucky to live where I actually have “choice” in my provider options.
As for performance clauses, who’s to say whether they were there and stripped out in committee.
Yeah, i've reached the conclusion that gigabit is enough for now. I can get 1.2, 2.5, 6 and 10 at my house but i'm staying at 1 because it's honestly plenty fast for a family of 3 - even with 2 of us working from home.
Gigabit is plenty for years to come. Even with 3 of you there. I know people that had like 300MBps with 5 people in the house streaming, 2 people playing games, and tons of phones. Unless you got 10 people in your house, gigabit is plenty. You talking about 'enough for now' with only 3 people in the house lmao. Bruh
I suppose it's strange to reach a point where I have 3 choices for gigabit and multiple much faster choices and not opt for the faster. This is literally the first time in my life that I've not had the fastest plan I can get. I can absolutely afford 10G service... But you are right, there's really no reason for it right now
