Agreed, they never do. When my sister got DSL, it involved running a mile of underground cable through a swamp, just for her. This doesn't come cheap. Comparisons to Russia, China, Australia, etc would be of value.
Though that doesn't really explain crappy broadband in NYC or why my ISP, who installed fiber to my home, only lets me pull 6 megabit over it.

- wwortiz 16y agoMost likely because dsl was the cheapest option I live in a place where you basically have 3 semi-useful options for broadband service: * DSL at 60 a month * Satellite at PRICE a month (to be honest I don't want the latency so I never looked into it) and * Wireless broadband at 300 dollars a month before any equipment rental or purchase.
