Lucky you.

You lucky, lucky man. I wish google fiber would expand so I can ditch my benevolent overlord, Comcast.

The only reason I stay with Telus is because of the mobility feature I have with this stick. I can use it all over Canada with no roaming charges. For us out here in the boonies Telus is the best choice.
Rogers and Bell just don't cut it. Rogers doesn't work at the house and Bell didn't bring their fiber optics line down close enough for me.:(

I suppose you have to make do with what you've got...we're probably a tad spoilt for choice on my little island.

That is what I keep telling them at work. I do the best I can with what I have to work with.

But Google controls every single thing that you download or upload.:arrgh!:

Funny thing is the buggas never seem to listen or take any notice :hmmm:

Nice explanation for those of you that don't know the issue.

That would be all well and good if that little old government agency known as the FCC wasn't already a monopoly top loaded with people from another monopoly. Forget divide and conquer when you can infiltrate and usurp cheaper and still get paid to do it.
The government is a great big monster made up of many little monsters and the people we think we elect to tame the monsters are NOT monster tamers at all. They are monster enablers.:stare:
Write to your elected reps about a problem with one of these agencies and all you'll get in return is a nice form letter apologetically informing you that they have no authority to meddle in the affairs of a government agency. Posting to the FCC website will prove just as futile since the FCC is now loaded with industry insiders who won't get paid by the monopolies that put them there if they do anything to rock the money barge on the Potomac.

This is what happens...

Intersesting video....I especially took note of the facial expressions of those on the chairman and his colleagues alongside him.

I always read where Japan and Europe have better internet than the US, better speeds, bandwidth and lower costs. The US consumer needs to hold the ISP's feet to the fire and get in line with the rest of the civilized world.

That may look good, but it comes at a cost of $150 a month.:-?

Admirable sentiment, sir and a great way to get arrested.:timeout:
There's the rub... $150.00 a month. Looks like Pittsburgh isn't the only home of Pirates.:arrgh!: and Transylvania isn't the only home of blood sucking vampires.:hmmm: Trying to fix any of the travesties foisted upon us by these greedy idjits is akin to

Same look the Wall Street bankers expressed at the height of the Occupy movement. Bemusement followed by police crack downs.:nope:

You can't tell me those cops don't know who butters their bread.

I'm surprised they weren't wearing handkerchiefs over their faces to hide their identities :)
