I am sitting in a farming village in central EU and I have 900mbps fiber, as of last year.

My family lives in old South Seattle neighborhoods and has excellent fiber.

I had something like 100mpbs co-axial 21 years ago in West Seattle.

What is the problem with San Jose?

I think people have been asking that question for generations.

My opinion- Internet providers running cables through public land are a natural monopoly but aren’t really regulated as such in most of the US, where it is believed that because DSL and an 5G cell phone plan exists there is competition.
