Man... I wish. My area still doesn't even have symmetric gigabit speeds. I'm on a 300mbps package currently with uploads peaking at ~25mbps.
The old cable companies are clinging to their coax! Let DOCSIS die!
Every few months I check to see if anyone's built fiber to my area or if I'm still stuck with the choice between shit tier cable marketed as 1.2gbit (but rarely even gets halfway there, often below a tenth of that), something else that's barely better than what we had twenty years ago, and wireless claiming to be 5G but performs like crap for everyone I know who's tried it
I've only been looking for the last dozen or so years...
So damned sick of the bureaucratic bullshit
