If you’re going to initiate a new rollout of tech, why rollout already out of date stuff? Just mandate fibre to the prem and 1 gigabit minimum from the start. It will take 15 years to complete anyway!
Government officials in areas where 100 Mbps internet isn’t already available are too busy making sure trans people can’t use the toilet or play high school sports.
They're also waiting for their trans porn to download.
slaps thigh 🤣🪦
That's way too hard for this country.
How will the isps get another government grant to roll out the next bit of outdated tech?
FTFY. Google the Connect America Fund if you want your blood pressure to spike. ISPs are notorious for taking taxpayer money and doing fuck-all with it.
They are fucking all of us with it. Does that count?
They're fucking all with it

They probably had to fight for that, because the ISPs don't want to.
