How is this even possible in 2024? I realize Rochester isn’t exactly a major metropolis, but we’re in the middle of town! It’s not like they’re relying on Hughesnet or something.

Also, it’s not that they’re cheaping out on us either. The owners live upstairs. This is a duplex.

    Dumb argument, its all relative.

    Of course there are people who have it worse. But that doesnt invalidate the frustrations of people who dont. A 1st world problem isnt less valid than a third world poblem.

    In the 1st world, you often need a reliable internet connection to do almost everything. From ordering food to applying for a job. Even some work is only offered remotely and therefore it is a requirement.

    If you dont have the internet in a 1st world country you will fall behind and lokely end up poor and struggling.

    In some third world countires, assume these same issues sont exist.
