Ah, so money changed hands. Got it.

      But to yell at a cloud for a moment, if we’re being honest most people should not need gigabit.

      For now*

      The way tech moves, this won’t be the case forever. And it’ll be better to have it already then need it and have to wait another decade for it.

        I get your point but also that’s a bias borne from the industrial and technological revolutions, it’s entirely possible that we may already are seeing the slow down of large scale technological advances from every 2-4 years seeing major leaps to every ten years or more, hell I cant think of any major tech jumps over the last 10 years of particular note outside of AI (hurk) and battery/ green energy neither of which need faster internet.

      I remeber in the 90s deciding if it was worth removing line breaks in order to make my html on Geocities take up kbs less.

      640K ought to be enough for anybody.

      He was wrong then, and you’re wrong that nobody needs gigabit. Stop handwringing for big corporations. This isn’t a difficult thing to do, it just makes companies slightly less money. America has some of the most expensive internet in the world, and some of the worst per mb.
