With the way rural voters get disproportionate voting power its insane that rural broadband isn’t everywhere. Shows how money interests take over rural interests in that party
Duh: Rural towns usually have terrible Internet. Who would want to live with that every day‽
In my experience this isn’t always the case. A small town I lived in once had gigabit for $80/month whereas the city I lived in before that had 250mbps internet for something absurd like $270/month and it even had a bandwidth cap.
Right now I live in the middle of nowhere and the fastest thing available is 100mbps but it’s only $50/month. I probably have a better internet situation than most people at least in terms of what I’m getting for the price.
I think some small internet companies just didn’t get the memo on enshitification.

That, and they’re also full of MAGA-type Republicans that hate anyone and everyone who isn’t exactly like them.
