You cannot get connection to the Internet through your phone?

You cannot get connection though landline?

Perhaps you can explain what you mean by "broadband".

I mentioned the fact, that Australia provides Internet connection by phone service, to show that a first world nation has similar problems to providing Internet as to the United States.

How is that "making excuses".

Internet 101: In the context of Internet access, broadband is used to mean any high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than dial-up access over traditional analog or ISDN PSTN services.

Ok I have DSL which is 45 mps down and 6 mps up. So technically I have BB but by this point (2020 AD ) I should be in the gigabyte range. The cities all have fiber but us schulbs in the sticks, well we don't count.
