re: Just a fun link hinting at why all the NN discussions are hilariously out of date

Wired internet service into homes is going the way of the outhouse. It won't be a part of our home environment in the future.
That's why I just shake my head and laugh at the drama queens on here who believe that households will only have high speed internet service if there is a wire running into their residence.
Hell, now when my Cox internet service is disrupted, I just switch over to my AT&T data plan on my iPad. I don't notice a single bit of difference in the service. Sometimes I forget to switch back until I look in the upper left hand for the wi-fi symbol on my device and see the cellular data link symbol instead.

While certainly an upgrade and a viable option for many, radio doesn't have the bandwidth of fiber. 10 Gbps (symmetrical) fiber is becoming the norm now. Radio can do it in theory, but there's a lot of drawbacks (short distances, interference with other radio signals, etc.)
Moreover, the higher the frequency of the radio signal (which is required for high speeds), the shorter the max distance and the less able the signal can penetrate objects. This means an ISP would need to place a bunch of base stations throughout the city/neighborhood and place them in close proximity to homes/businesses.
Overall, I'd rather have a fiber line coming directly into my home. No worries of interference or overcrowding or overselling.
