Techdirt is a whiny TDS page. They publish some good stuff every once in a while, but they still whine. No link to the page.

I'm lucky enough to have 2 copper, a fiber, and a cellular company serve this area.

I can usually get good service for around $40 a month.

God I wish! T mobile and Verizon both get shit reception at both my house and my work. And isp...we can use Xfinity (90 a month for 1gbs), or CenturyLink, which last time I checked it was 80 for 40 mbs

Ugh...both of those names make my asshole pucker up. I have Spooktrum here...They bought Insight years ago. It's ok, 600mbps for $40 is a decent enough price.

Used to have WOW, they bought the AmeriCast system from Ameritech / Ohio Bell years ago. I've heard the system was patched together with love, tape, and the know-how of the WOW people, and Breezeline got the pig in a poke treatment. AT&T fiber is the other local, but I don't like the way they do the NATless stuff on consumer fiber.

About this sub

THE RULES:

No advertising, this includes "Free stuff for your whatever" type posts, even if you didn't write the post.
Posts must be about things businesses are doing. Posts that are nothing more than long writeups with links to things that "help your business" or explain "why you need this for your business" are advertising and fall under rule #1.
Keep memes and image posts on topic for what businesses are doing.
You're free to talk about what you've done in making your personal business a success, but talk about it in general terms. Don't give product names, pictures, or any kind of links.
Start at #1 and read the rules again.

Posts that are amusingly bad may be moved to /s/HaveAPepsi and deemed "Coke." Batteries are not included, this offer void where prohibited by law, which is pretty much everywhere including the moon, no cash value save that which is in your pants pockets and will need to be given to us. By using this sub, you offer control of your soul to stupidbird who may use it for whatever purposes, up to and including the dark arts in which case your only recourse is to appeal to the council of evil and have your petition denied. Please take heart, amid the deepening gloom, that your dog is finally getting enough cheese. We’ll decide what will be on the contract. You’ll pay us to be allowed to do the work. You will make the product. Then you’ll give it to us, and it will be ours forever. If anybody buys it, we might give you some money. If you’re lucky. Or we might put it in a drawer and forget about it. In any event you will get nothing, and you will thank us for it. You understand that any breach of this agreement may invoke unspecified consequences of a dire nature, potentially affecting your being in ways beyond your comprehension. Proceed at your own peril.
