No Country for Slow Broadband
- venomsnake 13y agoWhere I live (Eastern europe) I pay 18 euro/month for 100Mbit download and 50 upload with no crap TV or phone subscription attached. And no traffic limits - you can move 10TB in downloading and seeding "linux isos" and nobody minds. Quick price check says that comparable speeds in US cost few times that except for Google Fiber where the pricing is sane. Go google. Until the general public in the States pays lower than that can the author shut up and try to bring real low cost, high speed, high reliability broadband to the masses.
