Any day you can tell Comcast to get off your grass is a good day! 🚂
Loving the internet videos man keep it up!
I've had Frontier Fiber for years here in FL. One of the big differences is that they buried their cables unlike Comcast, and when Hurricane Ian came through Frontier still worked even on Generator. Comcast was down for weeks.
There's not a lot of options in my part of Massachusetts. I switched to T-Mobile in late 2020 after Comcast announced their intention to introduce data caps. I was able to get an upgrade to the 5G Modem and the speeds are much better than what I was used to with the old 4G box. I honestly have no regrets switching off of Comcast, as my internet bill dropped by almost half.
I'm in a somewhat rural part of S. Carolina, and switched to T-Mobile back in February 2023 after we got 5G Ultra Capacity, as BreezeLine cable(formally Atlantic Broadband) was ripping me off, as I was paying $92 a month for 160 Mbps/25 Mbps with no equipment rental, and with T-Mobile at my location, I'm now pulling down 500 Mbps+ /150 Mbps+ on the high end, with normal averages of 200Mbps - 400Mbps/50Mbps - 110Mbps, and ping times nearly the same I had on Breezeline, so like you I have no regrets switching from my hardline cable connection saving me $504 a year!!
The only minor downsides I've had is T-Mobile shows my IP address as being in Atlanta about 3.5 - 4 hours from me, so I had to change some things w/ RUclips TV to get my correct local channels, and I've noticed the Gateway's WiFi signal is a bit weak for my needs, but no big deal as I already had a TP-Link Deco X20 4 base Mesh Router setup to cover my house, and yard around it.
I would game and download all the time and never reached the data cap xfinity had
Have AT&T Fiber and absolutely love it! Came from Xfinity and I don't miss it.
been with fiber past 6years ,Just hate when contract is up and the raise price automatically .
Great information
Frontier has always been in Florida but recently has been booming with installs in my area! I have spectrum and want more upload speed for NAS use and I'm excited it's being installed in my area.
Hi Lon. I am also a CT resident and COX is my only option here. Verizon and T-Mobile speeds are too slow. StarLink is not fast enough and I would only use it as a backup in case my main service is down.
Both fiber ISPs you mentioned would be a great alternative but unfortunately, not an option in my area yet.
That said, do you have any advise for us to fight the monopoly of these companies that operate like cartels in specific territories so they don't have to compete among themselves?
I love the fact that you use your channel to put the spotlight in local issues. Thanks,
I think I'm one of the few lucky ones that have three providers available in my area. There's Xfinity, Spectrum and AT&T fiber. I have 1Gb with AT&T for $69.99 with HBO max included. Been with them for about 4 years and have no complaints.
Competition is great for everyone. T-Mobile HI (Home Internet) became available for my parents about 3 years ago, we tried it on LTE and it wasn't that great, shortly after we cancelled they started deploying 5G. They had a $25/month for life promo in December so I gave it another go and now we're sticking to T-Mobile for the foreseeable future. The speeds are reliably 200mbps down and 40 up, sometimes it will jump to 350 down and 60 up. Even if the speeds were slower the price is impossible to beat, uptime has been 100% for the last 3 months as well.
For reference in my parent's area there is a Cox monopoly and AT&T is literally mailing it in with DSL in 2023. Cox is $60 for 100/20.
My parents live in the country and get 300ish on T-mobile. I live in the city and get 200ish on Verizon. I'm super impressed with how well 5G UW/UC will perform for home Internet!
@@BenReese I have T-Mo, and they slotted me into system with a small business account, and I'm pulling down 500Mbps+ /150Mbps+ some days with averages of 200Mbps - 450Mbps down/50Mbps - 110Mbps up, with near wired ping times, and it's almost 1/2 the price I was paying BreezeLine cable($92 a month) for 160Mbps /25Mbps thus saving me over $500 a year here in rural S. Carolina, and I'm very impressed with it overall, the only downsides I've had is the weak Wifi on the Gateway, so I use my TP-Link mesh setup for WiFi, and the IP address shows me almost 4 hours away in Atlanta, so I had to change some settings for RUclips TV to get my correct local channels.
A choice of internet providers? I think Lon made that up. /teasing. I get less then half the speed for those prices. Rural area. 🤷♂️
Can't wait for fiber to reach South King County WA! TMobile internet has just entered the market a week ago which will hopefully begin to apply pressure to Xfinity
Upgrading the nodes and removing the amplifiers as they are no longer necessary. Say what you want about Comcast they are the most reliable when it comes to work-from-home situations and that's why they're the leader in the space
Of course I see this while sitting on my couch in Connecticut waiting for Frontier to show up and install service
This has happend in Durham, NC and I now pay $35 a month for half a gig internet, it was more than twice that before At&T and Google fiber arrived.
I can't wait to leave Xfinity/Comcast. A new fiber company is laying lines in my city, hoping to have fiber this summer!
I have had Verizon 5G Home Internet since Jan1, 2023 after I got rid of Comcast. It works great here in NJ and I have had no problems. I pay $50 per month for their regular plan. I also now have RUclips TV which I find comparable to the Comcast TV plan I had.
I am considering going back to Comcast for internet only because they are running a promotion for $25 per month for 2 years with 200 mbps. I rarely had a problem with Comcast's service for the long period of time that I had them for TV and internet. They just got to be too expensive.
Man, choice is nice. In my neck of CA we have Comcast/Xfinity pretty much exclusively if you want speed at high prices. We had AT&T Uverse but after they killed that AT&T only offers 50Mbps dsl for $60. They pretty much abandoned the fiber they built out for Uverse. Rumor is they want to end dsl service as well but are locked into providing it by law for a little while longer. Some pockets of my area are supposedly getting the Verizon 5G home service.
They did the same thing in my area. They're starting to offer att fiber now. I just don't trust them and know from past they will balloon that payment after intro year.
Ive had att fiber for over two years. Price is still reasonable compared to xfinity.
I had U-Verse 10 years ago. But they wanted more money that didn’t make sense for much faster cable. So I moved to Comcast cable. AT&T just started offering Fiber. I pay $70 currently for unlimited cable at 900/20 Mb service. For $80 a month with Fiber it is 1Gb/1Gb service. Which is more than I seen, but I do like the much faster upload speeds for Plex.
I have Basic 6 internet from AT&T and I'm now paying 74 bucks. I've been a customer since November 2015. I'm about ready to kick 'em to the curb because with my limited income it's getting where I can no longer afford to stay with them. The ACP ''free'' internet for low income will end in April 2024.@@reycaribe When I first opened the account with them in 2015, internet was only 20 bucks.
My only real option for me has been Comcast with no option of a fiber connection in the near future. The T moble and verizon mobile option came to my area around the tail end of 2022. But the speeds were not really good for my needs. I would love to finally get a fiber option in my area so I can finally drop Comcast.
I moved from Xfinity to Verizon 5G Home, mostly because it cut my bill in half and I got a lifetime guarantee for the cost. It also allows me to put my base station virtually anywhere in the house rather than being tied to a cable hookup. It also means that, should I move houses and move to a similar 5G enabled area, I just carry the base station with me rather than having to move. Heck, in theory, I could put this on an RV!
Yes, this 100%! I moved from Spectrum to Verizon 5G. About 30% of the cost for 80% of the service. Don't have to worry about ice or rain corroding the copper.
We do have a fiber ISP building out the city, but I may keep Verizon as a fall-back for when someone cuts a fiber line.
Ah so you like to overpay for limited wireless connection.
This whole thing is stupid They should just build the technology directly into the laptops and whatnot and Wi-Fi would be a thing of the past.
@@bland9876 today, there are more devices that connect to the net than just laptops. IoT devices is a big part of it and adding cellular modems might not be economically feasible.
@@wiziek wireless is significantly cheaper than cable for basic internet ( 300mbps
I am sitting here watching this in 1440p on my Visible by Verizon ($25/month) phone hotspot shared to my Linux PC and 1440p 35inch monitor. Greetings from Ocala, Florida.
It should be noted that two other ISP are coming to CT too. FiberCity in East Hartford and Amazon Satillite service in the future, probably a year or two from now. Of course there is Cox Communication which is even worse at nickle and diming customers than even Comcast. I have been very happy with T-Mobile 5G Home but it isn't for everyone. I am lucky that I live less than one block away from a T-Mobile cell tower so I get 260mbps during the day, and up to 400-600Mbps in the middle of the night (early morning hours)
Lon, We have Verizon (FiOS) and have never had a significant issue. When we have had a couple of billing issues, Verizon has been easy to work with. In each case they took care of the iissue with no argument.
I'm loving my FiOS service hav them for 3 years now
Lon: My Internet Still Sucks
Also Lon: Has a choice of 3 fiber optic providers and StarLink
im lucky lived in ilinois and had fiber less than 90 for gig up and down live in kentucky now cost like 100 for gig symetrical just happen to be in the righ part of my town here
Thanks Lon for showing off speeds I will not see in my lifetime due to the AU gov sabotaging our National Broadband Network, what started out as being a total fibre service to 4G fixed Wireless(temporary at start) and in total rural regions satellite, to now a huge mix including the old copper network and then price gouging us to get a fibre upgrade IN SOME AREAS..... which is far from what we were sold on. I am stuck on a dismal wireless service that uses tower relay microwave links with a data cap at 75gb then i get slowed down from 15mb/s to 1.7mb/s all cos the NBN tower near me is half the height that it could have been to get line of sight to where i live, but no there is a small hill blocking the signal. Wot a real load of crap we have to deal with here, lucky u have options now, btw forget starlink... $150 a month is a no go for me even if we r getting a 50% discount on hardware.
I personally have Verizon. However, Comcast is king here in Philly. Regionally, Astound by RCN is in my neifhborhood
I currently have Frontier Fiber, and I like It. I will say customer service Is not on par . I had comcast and never had a problem , just needed to save money. In my area Its just these two for choices. I will say fiber Is faster but I don't see that much of a difference as comcast worked well. Thanks for the video and comparison
I wish I had competition in my State. I would be worried less about the poles you mentioned and concerning fiber in the same pipe as copper lines. I don't see the any issue safety wise interference
wise to and from copper. The benefit of fiber is no radiation or susceptible to EMI radiation. We only have COX and Verizon both priced high.
Where I live (in the USA) I'm paying $60 (normally $65) for 200 down :(
Where my sister lives they have a special plan that's only available in her town where she can get 1 gig for $60 but she's paying $45 for 600 and then they have a 300 plan that's $35. I remember looking this up last year when they forced everyone to upgrade from the 100 plan that was $55.
Hi Lon - I tried the T-Mobile internet last month. The speeds were decent - 245mb/dn and 70mb/up. Problem with the service is the router. There is very little customization available. You can't change the LAN IP addressing. Also, the NAT provided was "carrier grade NAT". No customization of inbound natting. If you have kids with gaming consoles that require a specific inbound port forwarded, you're currently out of luck. There is a post from a year ago that they are working on updating the router, but there appears to be no movement.
I wonder if the verizon version is any better.
We have the basic spectrum tier at 300 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up. I’d happily pay the same price for 100/100 Mbps, but they don’t offer that. Our only choices are cable or DSL, there’s no FTTH options. Cellular service is terrible at my house, less than 1 Mbps down and about 100 Kbps up.
Love that only wired isp in my neighborhood is xfinity/Comcast. Verizon and t mobile have great signal but their home internet solutions are not available. Just waiting for fiber if it ever comes…
Try going to a T-Mobile store, and see if they will slot you in as a Small Business customer, as that's what the lady did for my location here in a rural part of S. Carolina, and it's been working great with 500 Mbps+ down /150 Mbps+ up on the high end with averages of 200 Mbps - 450Mbps down /50 Mbps - 110Mbps up.with ping times nearly the same as cable., Just know it might show your IP address in another location like mine which shows me in Atlanta, GA about 3.5 hours away, so I had to change some RUclips TV settings in the Android app to get my correct local channels, the WiFi signal on the Gateway is kind of weak, so use your own Router, or mesh setup, you will need to put the Gateway facing a clear window roughly towards the tower/s to get the best signal, and there are 3 T-MO apps you have to download to control it, and get all the benefits, which are the account app, the gateway app, and the T-MO Tuesdays app for all the offers, and bonuses like free smoothies, travel, etc..
Got the tmobile service in Brooklyn I'm getting around 300 plus download and around 50 upload
On top of that I got it on promotion for 25 dollars a month so no other provider can offer me this price
Those prices blow away Verizon Fios here in North New Jersey. Its $169 / month for 1Gbps.
Yikes!! I just got T-Mo here in rural S. Carolina, and i'm paying $50 a month. On the high end pulling I'm down 500+ Mbps with averages of 200Mbps - 450Mbps with an unmodified sagemcom gateway, and I'm sure if I ever wanted to do the mod of the antennas that stick on the window I could get even faster, I just have to get the wife approval, as she already hates the gateway, and main TP-Link mesh router being in the front room by the carport window lol!
1. GoNetspeed, Verizon, and Xfinity aren't in my area.
2. Frontier has abandoned the area due to them working on the upgrades for Fiber, but still have no eta.
3. Cox had the best speeds but terrible costs in terms of data limits and fees.
4. T Mobile is the one I have right now. It's a reasonable cost, but meh speeds.
Please someone bring Fiber to our area.
Our only choices are AT&T and Charter. Neither offers even remotely decent service because they don't have to-- no competition. Top speed from AT&T is 24mb/s and Charter is 50mb/s. The cellular companies claim to offer service, but we sit on the border between a b-contour and c-contour so no cellular service is decent-- 1 bar at most.
This sounds exactly like the two sides of the same coin of Republicans and Democrats!
How are the unadvertised and unavoidable fees on top of that $49.99 Fiber 500 plan? For example Windstream has a $13 Deregulation Administration Fee on top of whatever they advertise on the site.
Verizon does advertise the speeds the 4G is 25-50mbps and the 5G is around 300+ and price is $25 when added and $60 standalone
I have town ship fiber I love it won’t do anything else
Would be nice to have choices like that. In NYC you pretty much have 1 choice: a very expensive cable provider or settle on awful cell phone service. You lose either way.
Ditto I live in CT and I'm glad to know Xifinity choke hold on being the only internet provider is getting challenged since this is just getting started let me not get to excited because we have a long way to go but bravo T-Mobile 👏 now let's see who else follows suit
Thank god frontiers poles are decent here. The reason they don’t put it on the poles across or electric companies poles, is because they’ll need to acquire new permits. They’ll fly through their fiber build by lashing to their copper network. A lot of us are on DSL in PA still and the fiber is so close. You can tell when it’s close because when that lasher is on the copper then our connection goes down 🤣🤣
Verizon also has a prepaid version through Walmarts call Straight Talk Home Internet device is $99 plus tax and the service is $45 a month with 80mbps to 300mbps download and is available for discounts with the FCC’s discount Internet plan.
T-Mobile advertises this at $50 A month if you are a T-Mobile user on some plans, you can go as low as $30 a month and And is also available for FCC discount $10 to $20 a month. Details on these plans and how they grow to see if you qualify is done on the FCC’s homepage In most of the plants listed in this video are available for the FCC discount if you qualify.
You don't need to be an existing customer to get the $50 T-Mobile 5G service as I got it back in Feb here in S. Carolina, and they slotted me in as a small business customer, I just had to do a quick credit check, give some info like my SS #, and pay with a valid credit card for the auto pay, along with a non refundable $37 setup fee.
@Commodorefan64 I said having a account with them can get the bill as low as $30.00 month. Yes you are correct Anyone can walk into the store and get the T-Mobile home internet service for $50.00 a month. Also their plans get unlimited everything cell service for $25 to $35.00 a month With the difference being the amount of tethering you have.
I just switch form frontier to xfinity same price for two years went from 500 mbps to 1200 mbps dont know if it was a good choice..
If someone needs to use 4G/LTE or 5G home internet service, they can get outdoor antennas to get a better signal.
That is true, and I have T-Mobile 5G Home Internet and with T-Mobile, and their Gateways they give you one up front when you sign up, but if you break it trying to modify it, then you buy it at almost $350 USD, as you have to take it 1/2 apart to get to the internal antenna connections, and that can be a bit more than most want to take on, even if they know it can be done. Also I'm in a somewhat rural area of S. Carolina, and just pointing the unmodified gateway out the window of my front room towards the towers, I'm pulling down 500+ Mbps on the high end, with averages of 200 Mbps - 450Mbps, and near wired ping times, So I can't complain about that for $50 a month when Breezeline cable here was charging me $92 a month for 160 Mbps/25Mbps.
Another benefit of getting the xfi gateway is that although it's $25 to rent you don't have a data cap. You pay $30 if you have your own equipment if you don't want a data cap.
We don't have data caps in the Northeast.
@@LonSeidman unfortunately we do in the south. Red state winning 🙄
Consider bonding with another isp for redundancy?
Given both Frontier and Comcast are on the same poles if I lose one I'll lose the other.
My opinion if a company is going to buy up existing infrastructure likely cheaper to decommission and dig a ditch a and bury shit that be the only way to stop loosing services..
My opinion starlink/airfiber (if available )/4g (via POE)/ 5g (POE) whilst great as a backup service looking at everything wired and wireless in my home i don't think it would be feasible to run my entire home network on wireless ISP sorry i know the limitations of wireless inter when pushing past 50 devices in the home
If your problem is with Frontier and their possible ability to maintain their network aren't the Comcast and Verizon services also on those same polls? BTW, those Xfinity boxes are a pain to install by yourself. Really painful just like everything with Comcast.
Comcast sometimes are on the electric companies poles, because they’re newer. Verizon is starting to hop on the newer poles as well and they run new strand for their fiber. Verizon has plans to completely remove their copper from the poles but I doubt it. Frontier will just throw their fiber on the copper line and call it a day.
Xfinity just moved to my neighborhood in Eastern CT and have been very aggressive with trying to get new customers. I spoke with their traveling salesman last week and he claimed they are running over fiber BUT the speeds are not symmetrical. I get the feeling he had bad info.
Funny how after all of this time they finally are making their way out there now that there's competition! He's not incorrect that they run over fiber - the coax nodes are fiber but of course the connections to the home are not. Their gigabit pro tier (the 6 gig service) does run over the same fiber that goes to their nodes.
I have Xfinity fiber I got 250 down and 230 up on my Google TV
I recently dropped Comcast internet for AT&T fiber which was just made available in my neighborhood. Honestly I had no issue with Comcast internet however their video is just way overpriced and I dropped that almost 2 years before. I live in a major video market and use OTA/Tablo for recording/watching OTA tv.
I have two cable providers & the three satellite providers. I have tried 3 & I would not give 2 cents for any of them. It really is about choosing the least bad one.
I only pay $59.99 for 1000 Mbps on Comcast can’t beat that .even though i never got the speed of 1000mbps I get around 750 Mbps which is more then enough not complaining ..
It's crazy to me that brand new fiber is still less expensive then my old current cable internet.
You'll probably be horrified at my story. First I'd like to say you guys have good deals there in the east. I'm between Spokane Washington and Boise Idaho in Western Idaho near Hell's Canyon. I'm in a rural area outside our town. A couple of years ago Comcast laid fiber in the right-of-way near the main road of my property. So then they started their advertising campaign. When I cut the cord and satellite of course streaming was my choice. So I checked out Comcast prices. They offered me $50 for life. I had to buy a $200 modem or else they would charge me each month. The fiber optics connection is about 250 yd from my house. The way the service person explain to me was that with DSL I can get Max 41 Mbps on each of two telephone lines in my lane and to my house. Let me digress. When Comcast had thier contractors lay the fiber optics along the road they didn't care about the right-of-way and destroyed much of the perfect ditches and stream ways between the road and my property. So now I egress. I get Max 82 megabits per sec. I pay $50 a month. I have my own modem
outer for $200. I have never had an interruption. Billing has been smooth. They did I sound installation but that also cost me $100. I'm thinking you folks on the east coast wouldn't put up with this. We have no other choice here!!!
Just imagine how awesome it would be if we didn't have to worry about any of this and all of your devices could just connect to the cell phone towers for internet. If I want to grab a device and take it somewhere I still have internet. Just imagine being able to game while on a road trip. In the back seat capping heads in Fortnite. Or Roblox if your younger.
imagine exposing all of your locall traffic to your ISP, your security cameras, IoT devices, printers, and nas devices. If you only have a laptop, you can already get cellular modems for them and some laptops already come with cellular modems build in and tablets as well.
1:21 This is funny. Are the fiber cables really in the air? Then it would not be funny, I guess 🧐
I wish comcast would spend less time trying to attain 10g and more time getting rid of the idiotic data caps.
Anything is better than Comcast.
Well anything except Frontier DSL(slow/expensive), Hughesnet(slow/expensive/data caps/bad ping times), or a data capped 4G LTE hotspot as your only connection.
@@CommodoreFan64 yeah I was going to say, I doubt Comcast is worse than Frontier DSL
It’s also better than dialup. 🤦♂️ The point is anything that’s actual broadband, that is competitive is way better.
DOCSIS 4 will be symmetric
Yes this was noted in the Comcast section :)
Cox? You didn't do Cox?
still have only xfinity :(
Unfortunately not here it's Comcast or bust.
After being an Xfinity customer for 17 years, I will say their services are the "BEST" as far as quality, but as far as them caring about you? NO CHANCE!, why I am going to lose enourmus speed and switch to Verizon home internet 5g
"I can READ the words & numbers in those Fiber internet plans.." - Confused & Overcharged Canadians.
Frontier salespeople will lie to you about their terms
I'd rather whittle wood than give Xfinity a penny
ur 25MBPS was on LTE not Verizon 5G UW
Spectrum has me. 24/2. They are saying that I have plenty of nothing and nothing is plenty for me.
Ugh... hopefully you'll see some other options soon. I never thought we'd have anything beyond Comcast and then all of a sudden we had some competition.
@@LonSeidman Spectrum is starting to roll out data caps too, after the deal with New York State runs out. Only competition will fix that.
Spectrum takes 13% of my Social Security money.
There is competition about 10 miles away with fiber, but I doubt they'll do it here. Cellphone is extremely marginal at my house. I installed one of those passive radiator antennas like they have on cars. That helps a little.
so...everyone is just like new england, huh? starlink and frontier cable is everywhere in the us now? sure. get outside more.
I think I made it pretty clear this is what I have in my area.
He never said it was the entire US, just what he has local to himself, and giving his opinion on it.
Also I'm down in a somewhat rural part S. Carolina, near the GA border, and have a lot of the same options with Frontier(they say fiber runs by the end of 2023), T-Mobile 5G( I have it, and like it for $50 a month), Verizon 5G, Breezeline Cable(formally Atlantic Broadband), and the option for StarLink, or Hughesnet.
T-Mobile home internet is deprioritized data can’t have that
in practice, it hasn't been bad for me. No matter what time of day I get at least 250mbps down and 100 Mbps up. When the tower isn't congested during the early morning hours, I get between 400-650mbps down and 180mbps up. I pay half of what Comcast would charge me for 100mbps/10mbps connection. I can program my synology nas to download in those early morning hours
@@teknerd yeah u in a good area but I have fiber internet but if I was to go wireless home internet it will be Verizon Wireless because I have a Verizon Wireless so it will be 35 dollars for me.
@@teknerd I also have T-Mo in rural S. Carolina, and have had only have 2 major drops since the start of Feb when I got it after finding a good location for the Gateway, and I'm pulling down 500Mbps+ on the high end, and averages of 200Mbps - 450Mbps with average ups of 50Mbps - 110Mbps with the high up of 150Mbps+ I was getting charged $92 a month on Breezeline cable for 160Mbps/25Mbps so that's a savings of $504 a year with faster speeds, and close to the same ping times, so I can live with that when the other option here is crappy unadvertised DSL speeds from Frontier Communications who claims fiber runs by the end of the year at the earliest, or the expensive satellite providers.
Frontier is right up there with Kmart as all time poorly managed/wrecked companies.
I use to love Kmart as a child of the 80's, and 90's, and loved going there when I wanted to avoid the Walmart crowds, and BS, but yeah by the mid 00's they were a disaster, and these days when I want avoid the Walmart crowds, and I don't go to the Dollar General, or Family Dollar/Dollar Tree combo store down the street from my house, it's Target, Rose's, and Ollie's Bargain Outlet.
@Commodorefan64 I was the same as you. Loved Kmart thru the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. In my area the last one closed in 2019. I hated it but this is what happens when you don't know how to manage a business. Same as Toys R us. The same issue. The most popular businesses in my area and management and CEO's could not keep them running properly. It's a shame. They are missed in my area. I worked at Toys R us before they closed so I know it was poorly managed business practices that closed them.
Their fault and not the customers.
I am a Walmart shopper but I only go on Thursdays and Fridays. If I can first thing in the mornings. If I can't make it in the mornings, the around lunch. In my area these times are the best times to go. Way less crowded and you can find everything that you want or need. On Saturday and Sundays, Walmart is very crowded and shelves empty quick. It's even hard to find a place to park unless you park alway down at the end of the parking lot and walk about a half a mile to the store.
Avoid Walmart on the weekends, especially holiday weekends.

1:21 This is funny. Are the fiber cables really in the air? Then it would not be funny, I guess 🧐
I commented too early.
I can hardly believe that a developed country would deploy fiber through cables in the air. In Denmark we are a storm in 1999, that knocked down power lines. The predictions said that we would have more of these storms in the future, so it was decided to put all cables in the ground. Today we don't have regular power lines in the air. Only "high power" power lines are still up, and there are no threes to knock them down.
