Re: That's the Price of Living In the Middle of Nowhere

You are pretty uninformed about why people live in small towns. Little known fact, people can't AFFORD to live in cities, or jobs are better in smaller areas.

Being a small area does not mean you should or could not have same services as a city. I live in a small town of 4k people and have super fast internet access, everything a big city goes i have.

You sound like one of the guys who say "Dude, just get broadband" to everyone who complains of high pings...

Man, you totally missed my point. Where did I say that small towns didn't deserve broadband?

It is a well known fact that broadband in rural areas is a crapshoot. Some small towns have it but many don't. If you are in a position to choose where you plan to live and you want broadband, but don't choose a place which has it, then that's no one else's fault but your own.

You said it in everyone of your posts, just not in those exact words.

You could of summed up everyone of your posts by just saying what your thinking "they dont deserve broadband".

LOL... then I think you need to re-learn how to read. Nowhere did I say anyone did not deserve broadband.

What I have been saying in other posts is that if you want broadband and you are in the position in which you can choose where you want to live, and you don't pick a place that has broadband available, then it is your own fault for not getting broadband.
