The "cloud thing" ensures that every person using the system is a subscription-paying customer. You don't see the benefit in that?

Kbin is actually pretty great.

About 10 years ago, the muni fiber outfit in the town next door lit up 10Gbit fiber for their entire footprint. The price? $900/mo. It's currently $300/mo, and they just turned on 25Gbit across their entire footprint ($1500/mo).

I hate you, because ATT's fiber stops about 1/2 mile from my house. My house has never even been able to get fucking DSL.

You should google "CG-NAT" and learn why mobile providers don't (and simply can't) provide you a public IP. Get yourself a cheap VPS, set up a reverse proxy, and open all the ports you want.

They could drop the 200 or so channels that no one fucking watches and use that spectrum for more channels for cable internet upstream. It's entirely possible, with today's tech. Uploads were chopped down to nothing for the simple reason that people were using that bandwidth in the early days to share pirated material.

~20ms ping times are perfectly fine for gaming. Admit it, it's just Musk.

Literally no one means "millibit" when they type mbps.....

This isn't a thing on any carrier I've personally used (in the US). Voicemail is just expected. Visual voicemail, however, is a paid feature.
