    Broadband is getting better! My in-laws who live in the boonies a few miles outside of a tiny town of 400 are jumping from ~2-4mbit/s download speed to fiber to the home, and I’ve seen broadband expansion in my extremely rural area by multiple telecom companies! It’s obviously slow going but it is happening

      That’s surprising…only way we are getting it here is from our power company which is a coop. They’re basically running it to all the homes they supply power to. Only another 2-3 years for us.

      Good to hear. We had a quick expansion of fiber a couple decades ago and it seemed like it just stopped there. You never hear about more fiber rollout
