Home Internet service providers Work & Housing

You know what, for the past 10 years there's only one home Internet provider for my condo building. It's Xfinity.

I'm not complaining the price, it's about the speed. The hub to my building pannel speed is capped at 75Mbps. Sometimes, the connection is choppy.

How come the world Internet or information industry center has such ridiculous Internet service providers? No one want to solve this?

The Internet is horrible in the US in general. If you look at speed and prices in other modern countries we are paying too much for crap service and crap speeds

lol. What are you comparing to?

The USA has a massive infrastructure that doesn’t get updated overnight. Many countries did not jump on the Internet until the USA had it for years. Hence their infra is much more modern.

We were first. Change doesn’t happen overnight. Get a grip and calm down.

Edit: I’ve got 10gb internet with Sonic and it’ll blow away anything in your sinkhole of a location.

Stinkhole is correct I live in California. Where 80megabit is close to 100bucks Japan and Korea pay more than have that for above 500megabit Europe is the same. The US has no excuse. They could have fixed this a long time ago but they will not unless there is serious competition. It's all a monopoly.
