I joined EMS a few years ago when the pandemic was kicking off and there was a big call for volunteers. Many of the folks I started with joined the big (privately owned) ambulance company that runs the show for half of the state. They’re making $15 an hour after 6 months of training.
The situation is even worse for Paramedics. Two additional years of education and student loans, most of which will be spent between an ambulance, a hospital, and the classroom, and not sleeping or enjoying life. For that effort, they are rewarded with a dead end position; a $30/hr wage with no hope of advancement.
It’s not exactly surprising to me that people would rather get into a booming industry like tech instead. People typically considers career prospects more than feeling good about their work.
The average person’s disdain for a 25¢ per household tax increase outweighs their concern for the inadequate treatment and wages of EMS workers.
Don’t even get me started on the ethical concerns of privatized EMS….
The Egyptian government is no friend of Liberty.
I want them all! They all look fabulous!
I agree. It would be one thing if they advertised symmetric speeds, but they aren’t. The FCC will also have cable companies labeling internet plans with these soon. This seems like a nonissue.
What are the “actual speeds?” They’re selling 10gbps circuits so I don’t really see a problem with this.
This article talks about low upload speeds on existing infra and completely ignores the fact that the limitations they spell out are a factor of extremely limited upload spectra on traditional DOCSIS networks. This is a problem with the technical standard, not the carriers (which have their own problems)
The funniest part is that the DOCSIS4.0 spec is addressing this limitation yet here we are.
Is node over subscription a problem? Absolutely. But I don’t think the root of that problem is the marketing department.
I would not put much stock in this article because they are either uninformed on what they’re reporting on, or intentionally telling half truths. There are enough reasons to hate cable companies, we don’t need to invent new ones.
This is the new DOCSIS4.0 network. I really don’t understand how it is as contentious as everyone makes it out to be. It’s a new standard allowing for faster speeds.
Compress ze file! (-czf)
The author most certainly hasn’t seen my poorly optimized code 😅
Unfortunately that ship may have already sailed. We tried, however in light of these actions, the Cuban government may see us as too unreliable to stake their future on. Hence their subsequent buy-in on China.

Shit take. I’m sure you’re an outstanding citizen, though.
