      I lived in Wilson, NC and we had great internet service courtesy of Greenlight (city owned). I moved to Raleigh, and the internet service deteriorated. Corporations need more competition, and if they aren’t willing to make the necessary investments, local government should step in. Every time I pay for internet in Raleigh, I just feel like I am being screwed on cost vs quality.

    About the dead husband thing, this is for a lot of companies. When my dad passed away, my poor mom had to call the insurance companies several times to get them to remove my dad's name from the bills. Calling, faxing the certificates, etc. It is not easy especially when you're just trying to figure out how to live and process your grief.

      Friend of mine from high school had their water in his grandfathers name for this reason. Also the city would not just move it to a living family member. They wanted to treat like a new service. With an activation fee. To my knowledge it is still in his grandfathers name.

      What baffles me is that the greed goes so far that it actively and severely hampers the product/service being sold. When companies refuse to offer service - and even stomp on other people trying to offer an essential service - because it is more profitable for them that way, then something is very wrong indeed.

      However, if things continue to go the way they are i.e - increasingly burgeoning restrictions over what to say, write, wear, eat, worship, whom to associate with and whom to sleep with; then moving forward, it'll become exponentially difficult and cringe-worthy to toot our own horn regarding how free as a society we set out to be and the spectacular way in which we've decided to let ourselves get turned around.

    a few years ago, I was living in India (Bangalore, for work stuff) and my parents were in the US...not in a rural town or something but in San Diego. I had FASTER internet for a BETTER PRICE than they could even attempt to get. (not just literally a better price, but better price after taking into account buying power parity). Just think about that for a second...my power would be out like 2-3 hours a week at least, but i had internet 10 times faster than my parents who lived in a city in California.

    ISP have ZERO incentive to bring internet to rural areas or remote areas because there more users they have, they need higher bandwidth and their equipment dates back to lake 2000's they have ZERO incentive to update or upgrade the nodes at the CO's or to connect extra fibers from the dark trunks, plus building this infrastructure will skyrocket the cost of each household that has internet.

      Pretty much correct. They do not want to expend the extra effort to put service in the middle of nowhere. The service will never pay for itself with so few customers, the ISP will need to have a tech within reasonable distance in order to work on the device(es), there would have to be a whole mess of extra transport equipment to get the connection to extend out that far...all for a handful of customers. They’re not gonna do it. Essentially, the ISP would lose money on the venture, so without strong government incentive, they won’t do it.

My household relies entirely on WiFi.
      -Granted, I'd much rather have bad mobile data than land taken up by cell tower development.-

    Every special I see about a bad law/policy there is a lot of lobbying involved. Maybe there should be a program about lobbying itself, because I can not imagine how this is a good thing. Every act pro or against some government policy made by a company should be public. Not like releasing the conversation with a congressman public, but a public statement of what the company/economical sector wants.

      I initially thought it was college and harmony too but there’s two reasons i doubt it:
      1) if the gas station is on the northeast corner, then that building with the blue rooftops should be the McDonald’s behind a bunch of trees, which it isnt
      2) if that’s college and harmony, the wide shot is looking Northwest so you should be able to see horsetooth mountain, but it isn’t there
