Better question remains: Why is your area not taking advantage of the Sherman Antitrust Act and suing whoever is your ISP/Phone Carrier who is the only option from not allowing competition into your area?
My bro and sis are on AT&T and my mom recently moved to Sprint. Competition is here.

It's not that, I was under the assumption that Ramy, who lives in Pennsylvania (my assumption is that you can get cell service everywhere in Pennsylvania), had only one service available to him.

I mean, people *** about Comcast, and when I presented additional services, they all *** that they cannot get it because they aren't offered there.

I should just accept the fact that people are going to *** regardless of what they do.

Well we're the 4th largest nation by land area according to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependencies_by_area

so if you compare 9,525,067 KM^2 to 450,295 KM^2 to have coverage, you kind of comprehend why. Not to mention we have very large rural populations.

We are too busy propping up the rest of the world to our standards, we fall behind our own.

Some countries are not super tiny. and with 3 people per kilometre average populations in areas, those 3 people aren't worth paying millions on upgrading
Doesn't stop the US government though.

Sweden isn't as small as you think. Sure, it's nowhere near the size of the US or Canada but it's not that tiny. Your companies have tons of money and they charge more than in other developed countries. It's not an excuse.

In Italy we're only barely getting optic fiber now(in some places).

I'm on a normal adsl.

It's literally a fraction of the size, and you have a fraction of the people, it's literally not the same.

Yes, well, anyhow.

My point is there aren't a lot of companies competing to put their towers up in Burning Well and Kushequa.

to add on to what jet's saying. you can't just think of it as, "they have money!". it's more a thing of how do you roll out new technology on that scale. by the time it can be implemented en masse the technology is already being replaced. thankfully fiber has the ability to expand with time like 4g does, so we should see a huge spread in availability of high quality services. however, people who live 50 miles in the woods will still have to rely on shitty satellite internet.

My experience is that as long as you don't lose calls, dial up will beat the pants off of satellite for gaming purposes. Dial up isn't any good for streaming movies, but it will support an MMO without much latency.

Satellite will d/c you every 10 minutes.

dialup as lower latency, there used to be combo services (not sure if available anymore, but I'm sure one could rig it up), so you'd have the download speed of sat and latency of dialup.
