'Old' houses in the US are different than old houses in the UK. Old in the US usually means 1930s/40s/50s and the majority of that housing stock was poorly constructed leading to the problems that @toomuchtodo alluded t

It would be great if they could just make the 1GB here in KC work as promised. I can't get higher than 500Mbs and often times it slows to sub 10Mbs.
