    Seems like a positive, good on FCC.

    Seems to not be a race problem, it is more on working class vs. wealthy class problem.

    Wealthier neigborhoods vs. working class neigborhoods.

    Interesting news to follow, can’t wait for independent yters and the like to start commenting on this.

      It’s interesting. I live in a tiny working class city that is run down. But we have gigabit fiber. I’m not sure what caused that.

      Your assessment is much more common. Mine is an outlier.
