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?
Man I really hope so. I’m in a 25/3 wasteland. My dad, a town over, is even lower. About 7/0.8.

@Jamie @riotrick How much do you pay?
$55/mo
Their introductory rates for fiber, last I saw, was $30.
Beats the 1.5/0.25 centurylink provides us
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.
And rebranded their fiber AGAIN as Quantum… (And somehow got q.com… So jealous…) Presumably because even as “Lumen” they’ve screwed their brand…
