All those red counties can keep enjoying paying over $100 a month for terrible local cable company "100mbps" (20mbps in reality) download speeds with 56k upload. That's the great America they wanted after all. Meanwhile in my very blue city I pay $60 a month for symmetric gigabit.

I used to have $120/month wireless net (dish aimed at a tower on the mountain) that was 15gbps. Then the city seized the abandoned fibre Comcast ran and abandoned. They brought in another company to run the internet (despite saying they were going to make it a utility run by the city). I suspect my $55/month bill for gigabit net is fixing to at least double now.
