captilism my friend

It's obviously too expensive to just give people free houses but they build them and sell them at very low costs, effectively relying on donations to survive.

2018-06-11 05:43:14 UTC  

Furthermore, wouldn't there be a profit motive in filling an unfilled niche of "ISPs that don't fuck people over"?

2018-06-11 05:43:23 UTC  

Did you know that erecting a house with readily available materials is nowhere close to the level of complexity as wiring an area with the infrastructure to provide internet access?

2018-06-11 05:44:09 UTC  

Go to your community center and ask people in your area if they're interested in a fair alternative to your current isp. If you get enough people take a credit, maybe even get some state subvention. Build the lines to the next center and you're gucci.
You'd could extra credit by building them on lines instead of underground.

2018-06-11 05:44:41 UTC  

Indeed. Some towns already do this.

2018-06-11 05:45:02 UTC  

My town does it. And it sucks shit.

>company charges you more
>it happens to be a better service

2018-06-11 05:45:49 UTC  

I wonder why.

2018-06-11 05:46:18 UTC  

Why does it suck shit?
If you know you may support them.

2018-06-11 05:46:19 UTC  

Oh well. My state already passed a law basically reinstating NN, so I guess I'll be fine

2018-06-11 05:46:47 UTC  

Before gigabit became normal, it was very common for those to be better, but now they're lagging behind.

2018-06-11 05:47:09 UTC  

Indeed.

2018-06-11 05:47:43 UTC  

By the way, Washington state's net neutrality law is not going into effect immediately due to constitutional concerns.

2018-06-11 05:48:06 UTC  

That's nice.

2018-06-11 05:48:18 UTC  

I don't think you even understand what that means.

2018-06-11 05:48:30 UTC  

Inform me.

2018-06-11 05:49:54 UTC  

Basically they're not sure if the law is legal or not

2018-06-11 05:50:27 UTC  

I'm not exactly sure of how jurisprudence is in the region in regards to this

2018-06-11 05:50:49 UTC  

The Ninth Circuit tends to be very progressive on the internet, in the sense of federal power trumping state power.

2018-06-11 05:51:27 UTC  

So it's quite possible that, despite the fact they're the farthest-left federal judicial circuit, they'll rule that Washington violated the Constitution.

2018-06-11 05:51:34 UTC  

Dat fucking

2018-06-11 05:51:36 UTC  

It could reach the Supreme Court.

2018-06-11 05:51:43 UTC  

Holy shit

2018-06-11 05:51:49 UTC  

I jizzed my shit

2018-06-11 05:56:07 UTC  

Indeed

2018-06-11 06:36:00 UTC  

I just wanna pay less than 70 bucks tbh because we dont really use any more than like 200Mbps at once

2018-06-11 06:36:25 UTC  

But google fiber is 70 a month

2018-06-11 06:49:02 UTC  

Didn't they start with a 200Mbps package for like $30-50?

2018-06-11 06:50:24 UTC  

also I feel like Google Fiber is like the first ISP to not trust with privacy

2018-06-11 06:54:28 UTC  

they have a 100Mbps plan for $50 i believe

2018-06-11 06:54:41 UTC  

but given the amount of devices that might be pushing it

2018-06-11 06:55:23 UTC  

i feel like privacy is a meme, i disable everything and they still give me targeted ads every once in a while
