Not good enough for what? Are we just building excess capacity that won't be used like we did with minimums?

I don't think so, no. There's clearly demand for high speed broadband, and the US lags behind in average consumer broadband speeds. This creates a bottleneck in Internet technologies and services that mostly affects poorer regions.

We can do better. We already paid for better. It's time for telecomms to pony up and deliver the results we paid for in the 80s.

Whatever isp your shilling for is overpaying. You're not convincing anybody.

Well, that's hilarious. The ISPs are the one that have been fighting against higher broadband speed defaults. They make more money by not delivering fiber to the last mile as they were paid to do in the 80s.

But you have a nice life.

Sorry it was meant for the other guy. I fully agree with you.

Not good enough for companies to load 1000 tracking scripts on top of the shitty AI written product comparison that occupies 99% of the results when you're looking for valid human reviews.
