Man I really hope so. I’m in a 25/3 wasteland. My dad, a town over, is even lower. About 7/0.8.
Meanwhile in the Netherlands, I can choose between several gigabit providers. Symmetrical on fiber or asymmetrical on cable. I’ve been on gigabit fibre for a couple of years.
Can I have that problem instead of being stuck to a single ISP that charges more for copper wire service than they do fiber in the places they have it?
The guy probably lives in a very rural area. I grew up in a rural area, and that house still only has access to dial-up internet. I shit you not.
You can access three bars of Verizon 4G if you stood in one corner of the upstairs of the house.
Meanwhile, I live about an hour away and have access to two fiber providers who provide gigabit internet.
I live in podunk nowhere, but if the amount of time since I’ve had that speed could buy things, I think it’d be old enough to buy cigarettes.
Also I’m surprised CenturyLink is even still alive.
They rebranded as Lumen, so they could provide the same shitty service to people who were already wary of them.
