Magnify the most difficult detailsããAn electrical co-op north of me is pulling fiber into my area. I'm waitingãnow for to be run down my street. The company is paying $75,000 a mile forãrunning fiber. I think they got it through government funding during Covid.ã My area is a broad band no man's land. ATT won't invest in enhancing infrast ãructure and Comcast will not spend $10,000 a mile to run cable down a roadãthat has less than 20 houses per mile. On the half mile section I live onãthere are 4 houses separated by corn fields. I'm going to stick withãHughesnet until the fiber is run. Starlink has a long waiting list in myãarea and the price jumps for the price of a reciver and dish. At first theyãwere priced at $500 fo rthe dish, now the price has increased to $750. Atãfirst they said no bandwidth caps,but now in reality they say it's necessary.ããã---ã þ Synchronet þ The Cave BBS - Since 1992 - cavebbs.homeip.netã

It's taken 4-5 days to repair it each time -ãthey roll a mid-sized pickup truck with a 6 foot ladder out with noãchance of repairing it to meet the SLA, then call it in to escalate.ãããã...

AT&T had cable internet service in my area about 20 years ago (theirs was my first broadband internet service), and then that ended up being acquired by Comcast.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã
