Our speeds are crap.

​

The government mandated High Speed internet be made available to the full country.

The ISPs decided to lobby and get High Speed internet redefined to cover janky DSLs theoretical maximum instead of improving the network.

Once they did that they promised to get those speeds to everyone.

​

Last time it was fully reported on I think the ISPs had only covered 70% of the US with the new lower speed high speed internet. That is when they tried to get things redefined again to avoid updating infrastructure in rural areas.

​

It hurts me to the core, they get govt subsidies to provide High Speed internet to rural areas. Then instead of using that money to provide the internet speeds, they pocket it.
