Didn’t work. They are laying fiber everywhere as we speak. So happy to kiss Comcast goodbye.

Comcast still offers fiber in some places, doesn't mean Comcast will go away.
Does for me! They just ran FIOS and GloFiber through our yard last month.
Nice
Musk is a domestic terrorist.
Musk isn't American; he's an international terrorist
But he is, he has both US and Canadian citizenship in addition to S. African.
Why do we need to have debate with lobbyists and groups of that nature.
They have more $ than you and i, can buy their ways. How that shits not illegal is fucked. Guess it goes with insider trading for Congress, make laws for/against companies you're invested in. USA is beyond rotten and corrupt from the inside. Blatant bribery with Tim cook delivering gold bars to the white house himself.
But they pose no comparison to requirements of what the city or community’s needs. Satellite is slower and pales in comparison to fiber.
But money, you think they care? As long as there is money, your needs mean fuck all.
they hate you. always remember. they hate your entire existence. they'd literally crush you in a hydraulic press if they could. giving you pain is the only way they feel a semblance of happiness.
I don't think they hate us, it just that they love money more. They can, and do, inflict untold misery and suffering so long as there is money at the end of it.
no. there's no end to the amount of disdain they have for you. they'd do it for free too; they just don't have to.
People who disagree with you are people who never spent time with the ultra rich. I've had the pleasure to hang in those circles and it was absolutely eye opening the complete disdain that social class has toward the working class. It's so fucking crazy that one has to see it for themselves to truly appreciate the hate they have for everyone not in their economic circles.
Preach on brother, but I also understand why the plebs don't believe you
Isn't it that they just don't care?
I don't care about most everyone on the planet, even if I had their resources I couldn't summon up the fucks needed to be actively malicious in the way that they are. Not caring is Howard Hughes buying a TV station so he could watch whatever he damned well wanted, not filing a lawsuit because a state is improving it's utilities which only vaguely undercuts you if even that.
you kidding? they're demons, making your life worse is what they jerk off to.
I'm pretty sure they mostly do it for the profit.
Capitalism breeds innovation and advancement, folks!
Also didn't Rupert Murdoch also stifle fiber adoption in Australia because better internet would cut into his TV and print empire there?
Why is it always this same recurring cast of 100 same rotating cunts over and over ? If we get rid of them, can we at least have fresh new cunts, this batch is extremely stale, LUIGI !!!!

I was reading a (non-fiction) book about Gallipoli, a battle that was fought in Turkey in 1915-16 during WWI. At one point, an Australian journalist by the name of "Keith Murdoch" shows up and starts contributing to the Allies' failures and eventual withdrawal. And I was like "wait, is that?" and the answer was "yep". Keith Murdoch was born in 1885 and was Rupert Murdoch's (full name Keith Rupert Murdoch) father. Aside from helping to fuck up Gallipoli, Papa Murdoch led a smear campaign against Australia's greatest WWI general (who just happened to be Jewish) and got him removed from command. The Murdoch name has been a stain on humanity for a long time.
Kinda. Murdoch killed the NBN because Foxtel was not in a position to compete with fibre.
the Trump administration ordered states to revise their plans with a “tech-neutral approach” and lower the average cost of serving each location
In other words don't give the tax payer the best options you can, give them the cheapest options to implement you can.
Musk is a toxic stink in this world.
That's the magic hand of the market that all talk about...
Capitalist myth similar to how monarchs are chosen by gods. I swear, Americans are so propagandized to that they would chuck disabled people into volcanoes if the Koch brothers told them Jesus wanted them to.
This is libelous. We would chuck differently-abled people into volcanoes.
why not? comcast pulls this shit all over the country.
Reminds me of the German Telekom and their unceasing effort to slow down state subsidised fibre deployment.
The subsidies are primarily for towns left behind with bad ADSL (it was below 30mbit average and is now afaik 100mbit), that want to build their own local fibre nets cause nobody else does.
They seem to watch for construction permits and then swoop in and build a few fibre adsl distribution boxes or elevate a street or two with fibre to raise the average speed in town just above threshold. The local net looses the subsidies and usually stops construction or if already built only commercial customers are still allowed to be connected...
