How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but we’re in the middle of town! It’s not like they’re relying on Hughesnet or something.

Also, it’s not that they’re cheaping out on us either. The owners live upstairs. This is a duplex.

    I live in the middle of nowhere and it’s been a lifesaver. The competition is good, because now satellite providers will need to up their game. It also keeps ISPs from locking down an area with insane prices and no alternatives rich is overall a great thing.

      Oh I’m definitely glad it exists, I just wish it was NASA or somebody instead of a crazy rich dude. Even better would be the FCC going after all the ISPs who took government money for infrastructure and didn’t do it.
