is right now 1.05 Mbps. It is already slow to load. So I guess this means, for people like me who live a mile away from fiber and 3 miles away from cable but with no reasonable time table to get either one of those things, that we will really maybe be able to get Fox and that is about all we will get.

LOL, this country really has become sucky and getting worse by the year.

We really need someone ready to take on the very basics that people need to live a decent life and one of those things is to be able to get free, abundant, varied news.
