My internet in the Silicon Valley today is worse than I had in Europe 10 years ago. It's pretty disillusioning.



Hah, my internet in San Francisco is worse that it was... in San Francisco in the 90s.

My symmetric DSL then was faster than downstream-DOCSIS is now. I also have to keep a backup line, because Comcast here (SOMA) goes out about every other month, and I work from home. So I pay another $35 for MonkeyBrains, which is much slower, but more than nothing when Comcast is dead.

To paraphrase Gandhi, I think American capitalism would be a very good idea.


Why not just tether to your phone? It would be way faster than monkey brains.


How’s your public transit compared to Europe? The number of homeless people/drug addicts? Personal safety?
