How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but we’re in the middle of town! It’s not like they’re relying on Hughesnet or something.

Also, it’s not that they’re cheaping out on us either. The owners live upstairs. This is a duplex.

    Well, there are countries where it’s still bad. Africa usually isn’t great, IIRC. Really geography has a big influence, it’s all about cost of a cable vs. possible rate of return from subscribers. Even Australia and NZ have had struggles with that.

    Then again, I haven’t checked recently and it’s rapidly improving. Things like Starlink are available too now.
