It's funny how regional this is, even only looking at major cities. In my part of Los Angeles, you can't get a residential line with more than 20Mbps up for any money.
- foota 8y agoAny money? For a couple millions dollars I'll personally drag a cable to your location.
- sgc 8y agoIt's actually true. I know of people who did have the money and asked for a quote to lay about 2km of line, no matter how high. Quote refused.

Ex: "No deploying new fiber unless you do it to the entire area simultaneously, also you must use this labor to do it, coordinate with this many more entities while working in the areas" etc compared to sparser and generally business-friendlier Southern/Midwest Cities 5G can't come soon enough.
