Come to rural Canada. Our internet is slower, but at least it's three times more expensive.
You got that going for you, which is nice.
They also have to deal with Wendigos. Not sure if slow internet or a horror beyond human imagine is scarier
Or it's better and even more expensive... With starlink.
Yeah, but then you're given muskrat money. Not gonna judge those with no other option though. Internet should have become a utility years ago in North America.
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.
Not anymore though. 10 years ago, sure, but now you’re forced to either bundle it with phone and cable for a reasonable price(for internet, you’re still buying 2 other things you might not need) or buy the minimum of 60mbps at a premium. And this is in a town of 500 people half an hour away from the nearest city. 15 years ago there was straight up no internet there.
