@arstechnica 😡

@arstechnica and this is why I'm always frustrated when I'm in the People's Democratic Republic of America on a layover. In Korea, the slowest, SLOWEST, home internet plan from SK Telecom is 1Gbps. And just to rub salt in the wound, it works out to be about $10 american a month for that speed. Or you can pay $72 a month and get 10Gbps.

@arstechnica

The act like the US is the only country developing and innovating technology.

@arstechnica laughing in 10GbE…

@arstechnica “prejudicial to satellite”. No prizes for guessing which Nazi billionaire lobbied for this.

@arstechnica

Harrison Bergeron is not the way to fair competition. Let the EU know as well.

@arstechnica ahahaha, and I have gigabit FTTH for 15€, surfing feels instant sometimes. Several gigabyte downloads take only a few seconds. Of course everyone would want that and should have that.

@arstechnica Manual entry Morse code is now an acceptable speed for internet service

@arstechnica “..
Unfair to slower technologies” = “we need more profit!”

@arstechnica honestly such a caricature of what the US has become.

@arstechnica and gigabit will be marketed and priced as premium as the ISP will claim the exceed what the FTC imposed.

@arstechnica Intelligence is unfair to dumb authorities. Children must stop education by age 10 and start working in the factories and fields and mines.

@arstechnica gigabit with ethernet is way too slow (wifi much worse). I'd pay for faster if it was an option in my area. Wifi and bluetooth are terrible technologies that have only had micro-improvements over the last 25 years.

@arstechnica My brain short circuited just reading the headline.

FCC limiting internet speed goals to protect the tin can phone industry.

@arstechnica Brendan Carr should be forced to eat the sh!t he is feeding to the citizenry.

@arstechnica I’ll take brain damaged governance for $500 Alex.

@arstechnica wait what? fixed wireless should not be able to support 1Gbps? What? We set that one up with two dishes from Ubiquity over 10 years ago between two sites and the claim was that you could get the 1Gbps full duplex for up to 100km. We didn't test that much, but you definitely can get across a small city with full speeds easily.

In fact one of our main problems was that the external site had better connectivity to the servers than the local network...

@arstechnica fantastic choice of images
