Isn't that exactly what we pay for in the form of taxes on broadband? So that folks in rural areas can have access? What is happening with the monies providers are collecting at the behest of the feds to subsidize rural areas with broadband?
Taxes? What tax are you referring to? What money is being collected to subsidize rural deployments of Internet access?

I have "looked around" and weighed options accordingly and I stand by my original statement. The U.S. is a first world country with 3rd world broadband choices. We pay the highest prices in the world for the lowest k/bps. Where I choose to live vs not is not germane to this discussion.
So you don't have an example of a better place to live than the US? Kind of challenging to verify your first world country, third world broadband choices claim without an understanding of what a first world country with first world broadband choices is.
