I do not want this to sound crass or unpolite but you chose to live where you live. My brother in law is somewhat of a hermit and has no means of communication without driving several miles to get a cell phone signal. He knows it is his choice.

Forgot to add, wasn’t there talk a few years ago they were working on a method of delivering internet thru the electrical grid? Any news on this?

I have 3. I can watch Netflix without stuttering, but the resolution is reduced to keep the flow going.

You would think ad companies would be smarter, but often the ads I see on YouTube stutter because the ad companies either don't know how, or refuse to lower the resolution to keep the flow going.

I suspect that the 25M minimum is more to make sure that the ad companies can keep streaming loads of crapola to everyone's computers.

Actually, no, I didn’t choose to live where I live. Long story, but suffice to say that sometimes sh!t happens.
