    It’s interesting. I have a remote place (not where I live) in the least populated, podunkest county in the state (which is saying something). And we were still able to get fibre and 50Mbps out there (and it could be higher, but not really worth the extra money since it’s rarely used).

    Still within a couple hours of a big city, though. Guessing you’re further away than that, or something?

      The 500kbps was 15 minutes outside of a metro area of 2.5 million lol

      It was decades of CenturyLink making sure no one else moved in on their turf.

      Where I’m at now the fiber is a couple of miles away and no cable, but 8Mbps feels lightning fast after CenturyLink lol
