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.

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.

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.

Funds allocated throughout the years have NEVER actually gone to providing/increasing broadband in rural areas.

"America First" is one of his biggest lies

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.

Could u rephrase this in a language normal people can understand?

The news will probably never reach them.

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.
