You have to love the fucking balls of telcom companies have.
They steal millions of dollars the government gave them back in the 90's to upgrade "the net" to the speeds of Japan, and other countries, as well as expand it out into rural areas. None of which they did.
Then they have the balls to keep coming back with throttling the net (i.e. not investing in higher internet, broader access and faster speeds).
It's a fucking joke.
This doesn't even touch on the fact that the 'Bells' have snuffed out most of their 90's and early 2000's competition. So they no longer have a market force motivation to advance.
