Maybe it's because I'm still on ADSL1 but I find it hard to believe that fibre Internet wouldn't be seen as a widely important thing...

- foota 10y agoWhy the jump from adsl to fibre? There is likely broadband available already.
- greglindahl 10y agoIn most of the USA, the choice is between "cable company or phone company", where the cable company has coax and offers speeds classified as broadband, while the phone company only has some kind of DSL and tops out pretty slow. Needless to say, the lack of similar offerings doesn't mean much price competition for broadband speeds.
- ensignavenger 10y agoThere are a lot of places that don't have cable, some that don't have DSL, and a few that don't have either. I just moved from a house that didn't have either (I was on Satellite Internet), my new home in the city only has cable, no DSL, so there is no competition (I think there is a wireless provider, but they are pretty expensive and not very fast at all).
