About our crap Internet service.

Lengthy response here
Broadband in America from an insider.
"line pressure" has nothing to do with signal quality. fittings and splices are the majority of all cable modem issues as well as distance and overprovisioning of DSL lines. DSL is distance limited and if your ISP tries to provision your line for 6M and you can only support 3m at 12000 feet, your signal to noise ratio is going to suck and your modem will drop out. Fiber is king. Get it if you can but 100M is probably the tops that I would pay for as there is nothing short of a PS4 update that needs that type of bandwidth. You can stream a hi-def channel on only 3M! hard wire your **** if you can, especially on 50M or greater internet speeds. In 10 years, resi internet will all be 5G like wireless. Demand will drive wireless costs down.
