Avg US speed is kind of silly to compare to isn't it? I mean, in most of my state satellite is still the most reliable and that's 100mb/s at most
more than half the households in my county do not have any high-speed wireline service available to them.
What's the point though? With more and more trash content on the internet what would the bandwidth be used for? To force-feed people more ads?
Right, but have you seen this new trash in 8K? Do you even have a video wall?

That superpower is mere strength just from slamming many keyboards/mice/controllers at the wall and/or floor.

fiber optics
Won't come out immediately, as that tech would first have to be finalized then introduced to the domestic market.
I'm sorry, fiber optics needs to be finalized before being introduced to the domestic market?
I've had fiver since a long, LONG time
Yeah, I've had a fiber cable running all the way into my apartment for over a decade, and directly into my router for years.
