RE: An Explanation of the State of the Internet Infrastructure in the United States

in #technology7 years ago

I do want to qualify. We have a choice in Denver from MANY internet providers. However, due to the last mile being either CenturyLink or Comcast then all the other choices are using part of their own network and then reselling the last mile of one of those two. This is actually how it works pretty much everywhere in the country sadly. Places where communities started their own internet (rare) or where Google got their Google Fiber in it might be different. There are also some places where you can get microwave wireless internet that also would change this, but these are not that common. And yes Satellite is still there too which works pretty much anywhere but it still suffers from that high latency issue.
