Re: No excuse.. While I agree that all homes in the US should have(decent, 5Mbps+) internet access, there is a valid reason that it cannot be dsl in many areas. DSL can only be so far from a remote terminal (2000ft?) and in many areas in the US the homes are further apart than that. It also would not be cost effective to put in a DSL RT for every household. The other reason is that in many of these areas there simply are not enough extra lines available to supply everyone with a DSL line. Which means you have to bury new stuff. Why install old technology when you can install fiber for essentially the same cost? |

kudos:2 | I understand the distance limitation. Again, this isn't a valid excuse. They haven't made an effort. Instead, they cherry pick and then call it a day.
There is simply no excuse that every home in the U.S., by now, does not have access to a reliable Internet. They've had 10+ years to get around to wiring our country.
