    Not only that, 100Mbps is so 2018. Quit pussy-footing around, FCC, make the standard 1Gbps, both ways. And make bandwidth caps illegal. I’m lucky enough to not have one but for years I had to put up with a 1TB limit from those Cox suckers until Verizon came to town.

      Do United States really doesn’t want to live in the 21st century does it?

      The slowest speed by internet service provider offers is 250mbps.

        We spent like 5k per household to get fiber everywhere in the US. Then the companies who were supposed to do it just decided to take the money and not do it.
