1 year agoThat’s not always the case, I have WOW fiber on a fiber to the modem install. It’s 500 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up.

They do offer a gigabit symmetrical plan for more money with no hardware changes.
I live in Alabama and I have not noticed any appreciable changes in how people treat me on the road than when I had a gas car. I’ve even had people who are staunchly anti-EV say they understand why I bought it after I take them for a ride.
The internet is just a giant echo chamber, and you also see isolated events amplified in ways they couldn’t otherwise be.
