SF is actually getting really fast internet now. All the new developments we looked at had gigabit internet at ~$80/month with multiple competing providers. It's getting to older apartments now as well.

At these speeds, the WiFi adapters are more of a bottleneck than the ISP. I can only get close to full speed on ethernet.

New apartment buildings aren’t much of a litmus test. Those are the easiest for providers to get fiber to.

Just in SF, though, right? Immediately south in Daly City the options were either paying through the nose for Comcast's mediocre cable or being stuck with DSL, and that was in 2019.

Not even in most parts of sf, those are still the options everyone I know living in the city has.

Still a problem in many places in the USA in 2021.
