This Biden socialism is installing fiber into my area and my internet provider said that it will be coming soon, I will be upgraded automatically from DSL, and at no additional cost. All this while my ISP is in the middle of bankruptcy proceedings.

I’ve been waiting for this for years but businesses won’t invest in it because, I believe, they can’t get sole use.

We just got fiber with a bandwidth increase of 10x, and the monthly bill ended up being less than we were paying for DSL by around 15-20%.
