I live in the USA and there is no broadband where I live. No cable TV, either. (Not that I would want it.) All there is here is dial-up and shitty cell network. I am posting this on my iPhone. 3 Gbyte per month download limit -- No YouTube for you!

It's text only for me because there are great expanses of the USA which have yet to cross over to the 21st century. And Obama promised a rural broadband initiative. Right!

Here in the Manistee National Forest, we are still waiting.
