Wow you're telling me that in the age of mass inflation, the first thing people are getting rid of is the one service that is one where 40 percent of airtime is ads?

Say we have a person living on his property, and his house is half a mile from your nearest Windstream connection. If you run fiber to him, he's going to be the only one on that service. Windstream will actually spend that money to run the line for free? That is amazing.

The only time I've seen free runs is when a bunch of unserved households together ask for the service, so that the ISP knows it'll get a greater income for that expense.

Needing to append a site name where humans post to get accurate search results is like the opposite thing anyone should need to do for a company that is supposed to be AI focused.

Okay I get that, you said that. Where are you finding this information and what part of the West is doing so deliberately? Can you give me numbers or direct information, something?

The Western world funded, and is funding the Putin way more than China and India combined.

Glad you've had better luck with it than residents here.

I have lots of tall trees around me, but the clearing around the house allows plenty of line of sight to the sky. If the trees were closer I’d put it on the house.

This isn’t like traditional satellite. You can have multiple satellites in view and it’ll pick the best one.

I've been using one called Writesonic which is decent.

It costs money tho, whereas Chat GPT is free

I think you may end up finding out the truth that as bad as Comcast is Frontier is worse. Good luck though.

I work for Windstream and we guarantee up to 1gb to your modem. Wifi 1gb isn't guaranteed. That would be a nightmare to maintain a 1gb speed wirelessly. You would be surprised at how many homes are already set up for direct ethernet. all I have to do is put an end on a cat5 cable and plug into an ont.

If you're hardlined in and still not getting full rates u need to call the isp.

If you have Windstream Kinetic in your area call them. Windstream was a shitty company but I think they are actually trying to fix their reputation. We are currently building our fiber infrastructure out over the next decade to bring 1gb fiber to rural areas.

I've had 1gb fiber service for the last year and have never had any issues yet.

I'm a technician.

This confirms that it was an abusive relationship.

Windstream is running fiber for no cost and no contract commitment I believe. If you can get fiber through them I recommend it. We are working our way down the east coast installing fiber infrastructure in rural areas.

I work for Windstream and we are running fiber to rural areas for free. Windstream seems like they are trying to fix their horrible reputation. I've had the fiber at my house for over a year and it's been great. I get 1gb speed download and upload. If you can get fiber through Windstream Kinetic I recommend. 1gb is around $90 a month I believe in my area. It's not a fiber fed copper system either. It's actually true fiber.

This is with no contract either I believe. If you don't like it then you can cancel it.

The EU banned the purchase of crude oil from them in December and are halting refined petroleum products in February.

Personally I think that's pretty late all things considered, but meeting the energy needs of an entire continent is arguably more important than a single company attempting to squeeze more profits at the expense of human life.

Also wdym the Western world has funded the war more than anyone else? I'd agree if you mean based on the oil that Europe has bought before the war, but otherwise the main purchases of Russian oil since the start of the war has been countries like China and India taking advantage of the discounted prices.

Ah yes, certainly no tall trees in rural areas.

They work great in bad weather, and as far as trees go, put it on your house.

The fun part about that is the coop running the river is probably hooked up to Comcast anyway.

FIOS finally came to my neighborhood, and I was so happy to finally rid myself of Comcast for good (I cut the cord on TV nearly a decade ago).

Be prepared for an hour long process on the phone/chat, where they’ll try to salvage the result of their long term abusive relationship by escalating the cancellation request multiple times, offering uncompetitive plans with temporary rates, and trying to get you to sign up for more services, including cell phone bundling, when you’re just trying to cancel their shitty service that you’ve been stuck with for so long.

Oh, and they’ll start cold calling you repeatedly to try and get you back once it’s finally cancelled.

We lost x amount of subscribers this year guess we need to raise our rates again. why do people keep leaving? we're the only cable service they have...

Wow, that website is really stuck in the 2010s

Well, chatgpt is only what is public. OpenAI has better programs than that, just not released yet.
