Can't believe someone living in US got stuck with DSL while my parents who live in a village in Sumatra actually got fiber optic service. Your area got a worse deal than a village in a third world country. Why aren't you guys revolting?
I know, it’s pathetic. AT&T holding a steady $40-45/mo while Comcast increases every year.
Vast swathes of the USA have either DSL or cellular as their only options. It's a big country.
So is Indonesia, 3,181mi x 1,094mi (vs US continental 2,802mi x 1,650mi), and split into multiple large landmass too, which requires extensive sea cable network. Yet they managed to build extensive fiber optics coverage in the past 10 years.
