Hah, my internet in San Francisco is worse that it was... in San Francisco in the 90s. My symmetric DSL then was faster than downstream-DOCSIS is now.

So I pay another $35 for MonkeyBrains, which is much slower, but more than nothing when Comcast is dead. To paraphrase Gandhi, I think American capitalism would be a very good idea.
