    but nobody wants to bother connecting the last mile of the fiberoptic network built by the goddamn Clinton administration so you know it isn't actually about data or service.

This is why I would hope 5G might mean something. I would hope that some wireless providers would put some downward price pressure on the current ISP situation where I live. I get to choose between manipulative price games with Comcast to get a reasonable speed, or pay predictable and low(ish) prices for slow/terrible service from US West/Qwest/CenturyLink. I just want to hand someone $35-50/mo for fast, reliable internet. And even that seems like too much to ask.
