You don’t have a drivers license or pay taxes? I bet you do both of those things. Sounds like they’re doing a good job to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sounds like we need to make some new laws to straighten that out. Something about only being able to sell bandwidth that the infrastructure can bear. Then strip the leadership of the telecoms of their compensation to pay for it.

If they can't provide service using the revenue they have because of shitty business decisions then maybe the infrastructure should be Nationalized.

So, I don't understand. The way I thought it worked was that the telecom providers put the money up for the network infrastructure. They then sell the resultant bandwidth to subscribers. Those subscribers then use that bandwidth any way they choose. If the subscribers choose to watch Netflix day and night, use up all their bandwidth that way, then why are the telecom companies bitching? I don't see a relationship between the telecom companies and the SaaS products their subscribers are using.
