How about instead of working towards giving people stupid speeds that no one's wifi router is capable of dealing with anyway, you work on improving thr network enough to get rid of everyone's bandwidth caps and/or making existing services cheaper?

crickets

    Because all they're doing to support 20Gbit is swapping some SFP+ or switches, and a new drop down menu in the CMS.

    Actually hanging or trenching fiber is an entirely different ballpark of beaurocracy.
