2. This is so important to those of us who live in remote areas of the counties that are underserved.

The infrastructure that our provider has is in terrible shape. I was without internet for 9 days without much of a rainstorm, and my brother in law, a few miles up the road was out for 2 months. The company that provides us our 10megs of internet refuses to keep up their equipment/lines, so we're out here stuck with junk that doesn't work.

The least the bill should do is make sure the infrastructure is kept up!!!

Better get way out in front of it, ISPs gratuitous Apr 2021 #1
