Do what exactly? Most areas in the US are served either by one provider that does whatever the hell it wants or multiple providers that offer the same awful service at the same terrible prices (ish). We can't vote with our money and we can't vote with our votes since our politicians (1) are clueless about all things technology (2) get the little knowledge they have from lobbyists and (3) won't do anything about internet problems unless they hear about it from a lot of voters, most of whom are also clueless about all things technology.
- jorgem 13y agoI assume Romanians are somewhat (equally) clueless about technology on average. What's the difference, then? What are they doing right?
- Fuxy 13y agoActually worse. Most people still have a hard time just doing basic things on a laptop. The difference is teenagers are teaching their parents how to use laptops or other new electronics so they are improving slowly.
- jorgem 13y agoIs £6/month a lot in Romania? Does it buy less than the $70 I spend for 50mbs?
- Fuxy 13y agoPrices for most things in Romania are the same as in London but the income is a lot less that's what puts most Romanians in a nasty situation. Imagine you living on (average us income)/6 while everything else around you has the same price it has now. That will give you a good idea. Most people have a monthly income of about £250 if you were to convert it. Now that should cover all the bills and food, most Romanians own their houses so they don't have to pay rent which is good but that is still a bad situation regardless.
- Fuxy 13y agoWell you're on a good track complain politicians don't care as much about the masses as they do about the noisy few on the news. And sitting back complaining there's no competition won't get things done so build a company that actually strives to give customers a better service instead of milking them for every cent they can. I'm not saying it's easy but if everybody is just complaining it will never get done.
