My 30 year old neighborhood in CA is _just_ getting fiber laid now. I have cox over coaxial and my internet uptime is a mess. They don't care, where else am I gonna go? I welcome a federal effort to lay fiber and eliminate any reason a normal consumer would ever need to contact a coax cable for the rest of their lives.
- deafpolygon 11mo agoIt sounds like that’s what it will do. But that’s not the case. Why don’t you complain to your local ISP? It is likely that they are not upgrading the infrastructure that needs to be upgraded. It is a way for massive cable companies to bypass local government, and may make the overall network experience worse. It might put local ISPs out of business that have been serving their communities for years.
