As Lemmy has scaled it’s approaching average. The masses have chosen to demonized minority opinions not for profit, but for short term comfort. They’ll enshitify socially. It’ll be faster than profit max as there’s no delay to begin.

As soon as those decades old and severely degraded copper lines are replaced in all of those old neighborhoods where fiber is slowest to roll out, DSL can provide a higher cost and subpar service on a deprecated standard. That’s exactly what we need with a surplus of capacity on modern hardware already deployed in the field.

We’ll all have broadband in no time if they’d just listen to you.

That’s because the truth sucks and your brain is rejecting it in defense of your mental health.

There’s one. What else?

The entire cellular network, particularly T-Mo 5G unlimited, would put it to shame. If one wants better then Starlink.

The way to do wireless would be to form a neighborhood ISP, put up a tower, then wireless P2P to each home. I’ve seen it in a few places. More common is citywide wifi.

I do know that AT&T has a fiber line that runs through my neighborhood, yet I can’t get fiber internet

The local exchange carriers (LECs) typically change from plain olds telephone system (POTS) to fiber at the neighborhood level. Coax carriers also.

Fiber to the neighborhood is already there. It’s not hard to run a line across a neighborhood to connect whatever on either side.

The difficult part is getting from a neighborhood connection to each individual home. It’s a flower pot install on each property, all connected together underground, and it can’t fuck with gas, water, sewer, etc.

Yeah. That’s wasn’t very clear. The USDA has been funding and providing loans for rural broadband. About $1b, IIRC.

Thanks for the pointing that out.

If that’s how it actually worked we might accept it. But, today there’s little distinction between public and private: Corporations own our government.

Hamilton built the framework. It’s been foxes since John Adams.

We did the same for urban fiber. It’s never materialized, either. And, the USDA has been providing funding and loans for rural broadband for quite awhile.

It got worse. We adapted parameters to try to compensate. You didn’t do anything wrong. You’ve just not yet implemented continuous improvement.

Jesus, talk about failing to answer a simple question. If you don’t know fuck all about how to implement our shared goal, perhaps you should humble the fuck down and learn to ask good questions.

I scoped correctly. And, you’re Australian, meaning your government follows where ours leads. It leads where it wants regardless of what you or I vote for. Bad faith fuck.

Seems to me every single time Americans significantly changed their laws, they had to break laws, often pick up firearms, then boycott, illegally enforce their strike’s picket lines, riot and revolt. Perhaps you shouldn’t be speaking of the combined weight of ignorance of society. Maybe your time would be better spent reading a history book rather than attempting to teach nonsense like voting will change their material conditions.
