> Edit: downvoters, what are the problems with U.S. internet?

once you get outside of truly major metro areas, internet access tends to go to shit.

i've got 1G fiber internet in Seattle now, but in Everett ~25M shared access comcast is the best you can do in a lot of places. and it isn't like you need to be surrounded by cows and horses to have bad internet, you can have the boeing factory just down the road, but you're living in a ~100k population city as opposed to a tech hub.

(also that 25M cable modem is going to be twice as expensive as 100M fiber in a major city and at least half the country only has access to DSL at those kinds of costs for anything half usable)
