  1. lol dude. The USA lags way behind most other developed countries when it comes to internet speed. I can personally guarantee you that the vast majority of the USA does not have access to fiber internet for x y z reason. There are areas with really great internet and you can go a few streets down and have absolutely atrocious internet speeds. There's a neighborhood not too far from my old high school where they (the school) has a 10 Gbps fiber circuit through AT&T. That nearby neighborhood can get an incomprehensibly fast 0.7 Mbps down and 0.5 Mbps up with AT&T with a 1 year contract. Here in the US, everything is about money. Money talks. Internet providers will do whatever legal or illegal thing they can do to maintain their infrastructure the least amount as possible and to expand or upgrade their foot print the least amount as possible all while providing terrible customer service support. There are exceptions of course, but in general, the largest telecommunications companies: AT&T, Comcast, Charter/Spectrum, Frontier, etc are considered to be absolutely terrible in various forms. In a lot of places, the incumbent internet provider bribes, I mean lobbies, local politicians so that they (ISP) are the only provider in town and/or make it extremely difficult for other providers to attempt to come into town.

  2. Welcome to the US. We're getting shafted left and right.

  3. I'm in the same situation in my town. I tried T-Mobile's 5g thing and it was terribly slow. I tried in 2021 and most recently in late 2022. It seems worse the 2nd time. I can't get more than 35 Mbps no matter where I place the gateway in my house. Most of the time, its slower than 10 Mbps. I'm going to be cancelling it soon.

  4. Probably at least 10 more years. I mean the FCC barely updated their definition of "broadband" from 25 Mbps down/3 Mbps up to 100 Mbps down/20 Mbps up this year.

  5. It would be nice if Google would expand in northern California.
