This is probably one of the most ridiculous pieces I have seen. The reason people leave CA? “the imposition of its own net neutrality law”

I think the title was written to encourage reposts by people who did not get past first few paragraphs.

Genuine question, since I don't and have never lived in the US.

I was under the impression (for instance, from anedoctal evidence on HN), that, generally speaking, in the US Internet infrastructure was quite poor, prices quite steep and service not so good when compared to other industrialised countries?

While ours is not the fastest or most reliable in the world, there is no other country that has high quality broadband or mobile deployed over an area as large as the United States. I think that was the point they were making. Singapore probably has the best in the world but the US has 13,000 Singapores of area to cover

Oh yes california, my home state. So impressed they had time to regulate the internet with homelessness surging out of control.

The state government has no intention of fixing California's real issues, they just like to liberally posture. Leave now!
