    I’d settle for DSL in my home town, 20 minutes away from a major city. Satellite is the only option available 😫 why isnt 100% of America connected at this point?

      Because America is massive, and half of the country votes for people who like to privatize everything, and private industry doesn’t make money building thousands of miles of rural infrastructure.
