Ahhh man, that stinks.
I live out in the middle of nowhere. We had DSL thru an ancient phone line, which is way better than the satellite or dial up, nothing like fiber. I did a speed test when I first got it. It wasn't quite the 1000 mbps they pushed, not even close. Still many times better than what I had. The kids have cable in town, it keeps up with all their high tech gadgets. Must not be too bad.
