Didn’t the telecoms receive billions of dollars of public money to build and then own that infrastructure?
You mean throwing taxpayer funds at these companies in the form of subsidies without checks and balances didn’t work? What the hell could have gone wrong? /s

Ugh, yeah. Sad that this is actually a thing.
There was a post going around the other day about “out of the box thinking”. The punchline was something like “paying a living wage” being in the box. Sadly a lot of stuff that passes for innovation for corporate types adheres to that, at the moment.
ISPs just got a TON of money dumped on them in a recent bill, they CAN fix this shit
This has already happened they got billions to roll out fiber and literally ran away with the money so disgusting
ohhhhhh yes, I 'member The Great ISP Heist too!
Fuck em. We’ve given both corps enough public money over the years. If they can’t prioritize maintenence than they should go under.
Fun, but I wish they would address all the lead water pipes.
