Bit meaningless without a timescale

Lol no one's making you play this dumb, obvious-joke version of an ancient video game. why care this hard?

More of a running total, really.

We have a list of US presidents that died of diarrhea.

Sucks to suck

Good thing this game is for a first world audience and not targeted to people who can't even get clean water. That would be really insensitive otherwise.

It's Oregon trail dude. Not everything needs to be so serious.

Well that’s not realistic. Dumb as hell

It is really first world privilege to say that dysentery doesn’t kill you and just makes you poop constantly.

You die from dehydration if you can’t find enough clean water which is still the case in some places today.

Sounds like a shitty remake :)

Our speeds are crap.

​

The government mandated High Speed internet be made available to the full country.

The ISPs decided to lobby and get High Speed internet redefined to cover janky DSLs theoretical maximum instead of improving the network.

Once they did that they promised to get those speeds to everyone.

​

Last time it was fully reported on I think the ISPs had only covered 70% of the US with the new lower speed high speed internet. That is when they tried to get things redefined again to avoid updating infrastructure in rural areas.

​

It hurts me to the core, they get govt subsidies to provide High Speed internet to rural areas. Then instead of using that money to provide the internet speeds, they pocket it.

And that's for the fastest city.....

Symmetrical just doesn't work on a network designed in the 70s 80s 90s for download/sending stuff to people. Aka cable service.

The upload portion of the Cable network was only ever designed to track channels, accept PPV, and phone home for errors.

It has been adapted and updated to get better but we are pushing the limits of what the current infrastructure (for cable/coax) can handle.

Fiber is totally different and good to go for serious speeds. I wish there was a lot more fiber around. I don't need 2Gbps down, Id settle for 500Mbps/500Mbps.

Here I am with my ISP disconnecting every 10 minutes on the dot. Thanks.

The fact that symmetrical internet speeds are rare, shows that oue architecture is ancient. I'm pretty sure cable modems have been supporting it for 8 plus years now. In the era of working from home, it should be a priority.

Reddit video quality has decreased by 18%

18% of slow is still slow...this is dumb.

Whole lot of infrastructure across the country needs a lot of upgrading. Lots of people still using satellite because that's all they can get.

I disagree

That middle of the country though.

Woof. Those DSL speeds are still complete crap.

Can we just ask our

Local hospitals where they

Publish their prices?
