2 edits | Hey! "That's a little easier to do in a country like Finland, which has just 5.3 million residents to our 300+ million, and doesn't have to deal with things like, well, Montana."
Hey! We don't have it that bad. Here in Billings, we get decent internet from at least 2 providers. I don't complain much, but alot of others complain of abnormal pings (mostly from MMP-type gamers).
Other than that, I get around 15mbps speeds (ya, I have the speed plus package). You can go with Qwest, but they still have ADSL here (max is 7mbps/896kbps).
Back on subject.. I'm honestly surprised we haven't done this while a couple other countries already instated it. How far behind are we?
The internet is holding everything, but the problem is most CableCos and TelCos want to save their old as hell business model. If they *have* to upgrade, it'll force them to use their profits to upgrade their network instead of their bank accounts.
After all, the CEOs of these ISP's *NEED* the millions of dollars in profits to go to their private accounts.

Wait, Bresnan is actually providing you service as advertised? Sounds like Suddenlink in NW Texas...crappy everywhere else but halfway decent in the areas of their choosing. |
A beautiful state. Simply noting that it's, well, big. And rural.
