But is this really Any different than "The floor recognizes citizen 123-45-6789 for 80045 elected to represent -error retrieving definition- on the topic of -increasing fine restricting owned residential snow height in december for households making less than $40k-

But what if its just wibbly wobbly timey-wimey instead?

I agree here too though. ISPs aren't servicing rural areas. Fiber is huge in my city, the new neighborhood 1 mile away offers fiber, but our older, low density "rural" neighborhood has 1 broadband, or whatever unholy cost satellite providers. I barely have cell service. Especially now since a recent provider merger obsoleted my repeater.

I know you think I'm joking, but check your dm's brah

The real question is which ISP initiated this, and who are they targeting? My guess is something like, someone with cables or hardlines, targeting someone with a possibility of inconsistent connectivity. Like satellite or radio. So their "disclaimer" has to be a range. Hardline cables are almost always limited by priority. If your residential base package runs into the same data center from the same switchboard as Amazon fulfillment center? Amazon's premium business package is guaranteed priority over your Hulu stream. Radio can't guarantee a regulated speed. My internet drops to .5mb/s on a cloudy or foggy day.

Oh AI was a given too. But I didn't consider brain/computer interfaces. I'd imagine there is plenty of data transfer to maximize with minimal extra hardware

They could handle all the data streams in a single cable for every streamer plus their cyber feeler 5000 for a lower cost than the competition

But really though. This is probably going to be reserved for extremely data heavy research. Like, recording photons propagation in real time. Or upgrading the LHC sensors
