>>86240046America is a massive continent with large areas that only have rural or dogshit DSL internet due to that factor as well as the history of telecommunications companies and their monopolies/refusal to upgrade their lines due to both cost and just genuine greed.
Companies like T-Mobile and AT&T offering reliable 5G home internet solutions are changing that, and so is Starlink to a tiny extent (but Starlink is actually dogshit both in terms of customer priority favoring greed* and actual speeds and reliability).
*They marketed it as dragging people out of forced by location slumlord internet conditions wanting to get everyone in America access to quality internet but instead of prioritizing home addresses sent thousands of Starlinks to Ukraine instead and started selling Starlinks with priority to fucking rich boomers for their yachts and RVs while people in rural America are stuck on 2-4 year waiting lists.
