It's really funny to read "I live in the middle of no fucking where and I all I have is a shitty DSL. Why won't the ISP pay $100k to deploy a cable just for me?"

They think it's any better in Europe? In the places where it is better it's because the government has given the isps a lot of money. Money that would be much better spent elsewhere, as I believe if you want good services you have to move to the cities - you shouldn't ask the rest of the country to subsidise your lifestyle.
