yes but how often does your internet go down?

I have a 1Gb connection. I work in software development. I live in a nice neighbourhood. My internet goes down all the time.

    I live in a major city that's been carved up by the local monopolists like a turkey, and none of them have even installed coverage in all the areas they've claimed and which their "competitors" won't touch. Some people just can't have a good connection because of their address.

    Im sorry to hear that. Maybe this is a product aimed at 1st world countries. Expected downtime for 1st world countries is normally under an hour a year and I think people can live with that.

    If your internet is shit you do not need to buy this.

    I do live in a 1st world country. I enjoy socialized (free) health care. And actually my country has some of the best internet in the developed world.

    Maybe this is a product aimed at 1st world countries.

    I guess that rules out the USA.

    Citation needed.

    Nobody should buy this.

    If your internet is going down all the time it’s definitely not “some of the best in the world”.

    My specific issue is a buried line at some point between my house and the next ISP demark. I did say "all the time", but that was hyperbolic. It only goes down when it rains or when snow is melting, which suggests a cable somewhere is cracked and water gets in and degrades the signal.

    It happens maybe once a week in the spring, and is back as soon as I reboot the router.

    But your assertion that just because a single person's internet goes down that the entire country's internet is not "the best" is childish and a reductionist argument.
