They cover over 99% of my city with fiber and I can walk to city hall from my house. Still doesn’t cover my street.

Welcome to Europe, where we get 1gbps fiber at reasonable prices. Here in Denmark it is available at ~$30/month for example. Because the same fiber infrastructure is accessible by many different ISPs to offer to consumers.

My doctor says I need more fiber…

I wasn’t able to upgrade until last year. And there are still places around me that don’t have fiber

but it’s not 90s anymore. it’s hard to even find a slower connection than 100-300mbps nowadays

shitty would be less than 10mbps, perhaps you are from places where the internet isn’t comically expensive.

10mbps is not even an option anymore tho for most isps.
50 is the lowest that’s still exists, with most isps offering 100 or 300 as the cheapest option

What a world it would be if everyone had minimum 50mbps internet. “Good” rural internet is 1mbps for a lot of peeps, and a whole lot more people have a whole lot lower speeds.
