Literature from the developer for the new house boasted about High Speed broadband internet options. Well, this was a fucking lie.

15mbps DSL is the only option. Wireless data speed is putrid. Across the board (I’m on Verizon which the consensus says is the best provider for the area).

Royally pissed and venting. Verizon home internet, 5G this and that are not an option even though the service map showed otherwise. Same for T-Mobile.

Satellite is an option from Musk, but cost prohibitive at almost a grand for equipment.

There’s hope for fiber…..in a year or two. Fuck me. This is not good.

Maybe you should try making VHS tapes and mailing them out to local news stations instead of posting videos on the internet.

Have a chat with the developer. They are promising what they can't deliver. Misrepresenting is a nice word for lying.
RE: Verizon, I live in the woods up north and I can get 30-40 mbps through my phone hotspot, sometimes better.

I’ve been on a mountain, very rural and have blazing mobile speed and 100mb home internet.

In a different mountain, 1 bar and dial up speed. If not for bad luck, no luck.

Investigate the possibility of a lawsuit for false advertising on the part of the seller and their representative.

In the meantime, see about using the hotspot on your phone for your laptop.

That’s what I’ll be doing but it is metered. I pay almost $90/month post pay to have a lot of hotspot data but for what I do. It burns quickly. One move is to transfer files to my phone then upload that way to not burn metered hotspot.

My speed test gave me 2mb down 770kb up. Yikes!

lol not at you but at me because I have fiber but it's at DSL speeds (don't ask) due to ruralness

Enjoy for a year until the fiber backbone comes in. Shitty developer should have installed simultaneously

Legal definition of high speed internet in US used to be >= 256k and probably still is.

I think there can be an argument made for what a rational person would think the verbiage means in September, 2023 at the time of deposit.

I’m going to find that literature and take a pic of that part and see what you guys think. Give me a couple days.

I dropped the cash on the starlink. it's way better than dsl but not nearly as good as cable or fiber. No other choice where I live though, just like you.

15mbps is totally doable. Don't be such a 21st century digital boy.

Not for work. And that’s at best. I found people on Facebook in the area. They said it’s down daily for hours.

He has to upload racist videos though, I imagine his needs are slightly different than ours.

Doable for what? Downloading MP3s?

Modern business requires multiple programs and video conferencing, 15mbps is great, if all you want is a 480 x480 window rocking 10fps.
