No, because they're milking their old infra as much as they can, and not properly supporting modern technology.

Not milking it at all, it's just a giant undertaking to upgrade millions of miles of plant.

[–] villainy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Both can be true. It's a massive effort to upgrade the infrastructure. Comcast will squeeze every drop from the existing plant, then hem and haw for a few years while service suffers, before actually committing to the massive effort.
