i have two choices in my area. ATT DSL or Comcast cable. the phone line system is so old in my neighborhood. it just barely better than dial up so i'm left with Comcast as the only option for high speed.
i'm hoping Elon Musk's Starlink will give us the high speed that we hope for that is not control by monopoly like Comcast and ATT.
This is the situation in most areas of the US. A few lucky people are in new developments where the phone company has run fiber wire and offers a real fiber to the home connection, but most are stuck with a crappy connection via coaxial wires.
Coax is not that bad. In theory you can get 10Gbps down and 6Gbps up.[1] The problem is cable companies with monopoly in the US. In Hungary you can get 1Gbps down 200Mbps up for less than 25 USD, and they rolling out DOCSIS 3.1
