    There’s also a bunch who have never left the city, and have no comprehension of just how remote some communities are.

      I’m 15 miles away from a major city of 150,000 people and they don’t run anything out “this far”. I can use Starlink, 4G internet, or pound sand.

      I am hardly ‘remote’. Cable companies suck dick.

      My last apartment was within the city but for whatever reason we didn’t have any companies run cable to the building. The neighbor complex got it but we didn’t for years. That was a city of 200,000.
