>> Many, many Americans don't get those speeds. Some are lucky to get 5 or 10. No Netflix for THEM! I live in an extremely rural state where large areas have slow Internet access -- in the range of 5-7 is common in some areas, and in the delta regions so-called broadband is often slower than dialup. I get it. But these people have no entitlement to fast Internet or to watch streaming movies. They choose live in sparsely populated areas where services are limited. The price you pay for that is limited access to Internet. If you want to make the argument it is an entitlement, then you have to address Alaska. WTF do you do about Alaska? Eventually all areas will be adequately served by wireless. Just let it go.
