- droithomme 7y agoThat's great for you in whatever treeless desert area you live in. It's not the case for many others of us and it's kinda pretentious that you know oh so much better.

Because like so many things it's a tradeoff, what you win in reliability nines you loose in bandwidth trailing zeros. Upgrading underground infrastructure is so damn expensive.
