What local internet provider?
Where I live, the only lines into my home are classic phone (completely useless), DSL (ultimately controlled by the phone company, even if I think I'm buying it from somebody else), and cable (controlled by Comcast). The only good option is Comcast, because the phone company can't keep the DSL working.
- cmdrfred 10y ago>The solution to this problem is to encourage small local internet providers to pop up and provide much needed competition. That involves invalidating the franchise agreements that Comcast and others have with major cities and allocating funds for municipal broadband programs. Unfortunately, that won't happen under Obama[0], or Trump[1]. Looks like it's about time for a third party to come forward in America.
