Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Where I live I have only one real option, the cable company, unless I want 10 mbps DSL or satellite with high ping and data limits.

we live two blocks outside the area we can get fiber internet and i'm not bitter about that at all.

Make a friend two blocks over and set up a mesh network to your home! The bandwidth you would siphon would probably go completely unnoticed.

my friends three blocks over are still on DSL. they don't even have wifi. if they haven't gotten fiber yet, no amount of bribery or pleading will change that.
