I'm 20 minutes away from multiple population centers, in Bay area California, and on a good night I get 4 mB/s download. We need public energy and data ASAP, private oligarchs are fucking us over so hard.

There aren't even decent broadband options in Silicon Valley. None of the "innovations" actually make it out of the plush offices into the community.

Sonic is offered around the bay area and silicon valley. It's fantastic. I sadly don't have it in my current place, but previously had their gigabit fiber


symmetric, uncapped, reliable, and north of 900Mbps on iperf (fast.com would claim 1.0Gbps).

Yeah, finally, but obviously not ubiquitously. They never offered it in any of the places I lived there, either.
