    Man, this is so wierd reading from post-soviet country. Here red state/region meant in 90-ies region with communists majority. And they probably would be for public utility.

    Anyway now it doesn’t matter in personalist resource autocracy.

      Thats the part that makes this double frustrating, it by all accounts should be a public. Back in the early 00’s the US federal government basicly gave all these companies a blank check to provide “broadband internet” to every home in America (See the US Postal Service as them doing shit like this before).

      They (ISPs) have since taken the money and done some of the work (with the promise to get it done some day, eventually maybe never) and the term “broadband” is borderline useless in terms of an acceptable internet connection. Every few years there is some skuttlebutt to increase the standard of what “broadband” means, but the last update set it at 25mb down / 3mb up… Which in 2023 is pretty emberassing.

        Downlink speed itself is not as embarassing as assymetrical channel.

        And not everybody receiving it also embarassing. To the point of articles 19 and 27.1 of DoHR. AFAIK the only country in the world that does not have to be embarassed is Finland.
