    Come to my house and use my internet.

    Its 2023. I live in a metro area of over half a million people. The best I can do is AT&T ASDL copper wire internet from the last century. I love monopolies!

      Not defending monopolies here, AT&T can get fucked. But with that said:

      Are you sure it’s AT&T and not your landlord that’s at fault?

      A lot of apartment buildings were built using loop wiring for their coax, which doesn’t support cable internet. Fixing that is a complete rewire of the building. Whether it’s coax or fibre, the ISP usually expects the LL to bear half the cost of significant new building wiring in a MDU.

      Cheap LL’s blaming the ISP is a tale as old as the Internet.
