Yeah, we've heard this before.

It's 2023, and if it weren't for Elon Musk and Starlink, we still wouldn't have anything close to broadband. Five miles east of me, they have broadband. Three miles west of me, they have broadband. And I'm still sitting here going "what am I, chopped liver?"

Do you live with me? This sounds too familiar.

Spectrum wants $10,000 to run a line to my house. The closes the house to me with cable internet is 3,200ft by their estimates. I have T-Mobile as my main internet and starlink as my failover. It’s awful out here.
