Rural voters overwhelmingly voted for this. I have no sympathy. I'm downloading shit fast as fuck. And I'm using my symetric fiber to seed 24/7 the following torrents: CDC data removed from gov websites, data leak from Patriot Front (a local fascist movement in USA), and war crimes committed by IDF in Gaza. Plus a lot of porn.
Cheers, shitbags! You got what you voted for.

Well, I'm honestly not convinced they don't. I mean, with renewables popping everywhere and providing a surplus of clean renewable non-geopolitical electricity, why would you pursue nuclear for the energy? You don't even need to build an actual nuclear explosive, you could just make endless dirty bombs.
Iran could cover itself in solar and wind and there you go. They'd have all the electricity they need, could probably build most of the shit themselves too, and have not just plausible, but total, nuclear deniability.

The news will probably never reach them.
And if it does, they'll thank him for helping them to disconnect.

Frontier trounced all over Xfinity here because of this program. I now have fiber vs 300mbps (400 plan). So many blue dots around WV but the koolaid is in the water.

Not entirely, my ISP is a family owned regional cable company and they took the grant and have rolled out fiber across multiple counties.
I get what you're saying about the mega corps, yeah they just pocket a lot of the money. But the smaller ISPs are being smart and investing in their infrastructure to be able to complete.
Frontier took the money and said, "Watch us trounce the big boy monopoly here"

What's an average Internet connection like in the USA? How many megs down?
10gig symmetrical for $50/month on Sonic fiber. Still too expensive but I can't believe the rest of the US pays so much for so little, and worse thinks it's a great deal. Typical US speeds are 30 years behind but Americans are so very, very stupid.

10 gig is amazing!

If I ran had nukes, the US wouldn't be bombing it as we speak.

Funds allocated throughout the years have NEVER actually gone to providing/increasing broadband in rural areas.
Not true, just got 2Gb fiber in rural WI through a federal grant allocated 2 years ago.

Even a town I used to live in with Donald voters, more than half the town couldn’t get speed over 5 Mbps - they had to use Satellite. And the other half? We had over 800 Mbps. 2 years after Covid, the other town finally has it. Ridiculous.

"America First" is one of his biggest lies
It was always a damn lie with the Republicans. “wE nEeD to HeLP OuR CiViLiANs FiRST.” They mean rob them first.

Frontier new kid in town, big company out money as people switch. Faster internet. Republicans dominate the state but not everyone is mindless and few leftists/centrists dot the state.

Don't think it matters when Israel's sugar bully is always there.

Not at broadband speeds, that's for sure.
