No cable TV either.

I have 2-3 bars on 4G on my iPhone with a 3GB monthly limit. I am getting an iPad Air tomorrow, but with a 5GB monthly limit. No Netflix for me. No YouTube either.

What happened to Obama's national broadband initiative? Wait... I already know. The 2010 election happened.

Meanwhile, us rural folks remain in the 20th Century.
