long nightmare
That's just US of Corpokistan chasing EU...
That sounds like a bigger nightmare
I can't really blame them. Counting all of that profit money takes a whole shitload of time and leaves very little room for value.
My ISP every few months:
"We can upgrade yo-
Does the upload speed upgrade too?
"Well, no- click
I just switched ISPs because the one I had never gave me the speed I was paying out the ass for and had constant outages. I switched and became the first house in my street with fiber. Now everyone is getting it. My bill is also $50 less than it was before. Only upsides. I think the deals are so good because my new ISP used to be terrible until the company got bought out and renamed. Now they're the best around me by far.
I had AT&T Gigabit symmetric fiber once and it was glorious.
My favorite is Spectum’s “Gig” (I guess too many people can’t pronounce 1 Gbps) plan is like, significantly slower than their 600 Mbps or even their 400 Mbps like 80% of the time.
Giga is the Spanish word, so they might just use it because it's more bilingual friendly

Hey, that doesn't make any sense! In 2024, lemmy.ml assured us all that Biden hadn't made any improvements to America!
Fuck this administration
The entire e administration as well as ice should be put into camps after this is said and done.
I prefer high security jail, and trials to make Nuremberg blush.
I have bad news for how the Nuremberg trials generally wound up.
Idk man, I'm more inclined to enslave them until they pay off their debt.
What is it, now? 5k per American person? Seems like a life in slavery is proper reparations.
Edit: and that's only discussing what they owe Americans.
No socialism for fascists. They like the death penalty so much, I say 'oblige them', in no sweeter terms.
They keep unironically saying it's "open season" of Dems and liberals, so I say let's flip it the fuck around.
We really did not execute enough at Nuremberg. I agree that prison would be a waste with such crimes.

Fuck any internet provider that hides fucking fees. If my bill suddenly goes up next month I know exactly what caused it and will act accordingly by not paying that bullshit fees.
This kind of shit is why the CFPB was and very much IS needed!
And also a classic case of regulatory capture, of course.
Looks like I'm aiming pringles can directional antennas at McDonalds again like the 00's.
pringles can is too small, you need a can 8cm in diameter minimum. 400ml cans won't do but bigger ones, 800ml, 1200ml will work https://www.wikarekare.org/Antenna/WaveguideCan.html

Internet in America has always been a ripoff.
What would you expect in a 1st world country?
Gotta nationalize public utilities for that to be decent.
Especially when you consider how many subsidies the telecoms get
