    I’m not from the states so I don’t have no skin in the game, but correct me if I’m wrong, weren’t ISPs responsible for upgrading the country’s network, given a large amount of money, and just sat on their asses or something? I remember something to that effect.

      Yes, they got almost half a TRILLION dollars from tax payers in various forms to roll out nationwide fiber, but did not roll out nationwide fiber. Never mind the absolutely ludicrous prices they charge along with crazy bullshit like data caps, throttling, and lying about advertised speeds.
