Beaver needs fiber ! Why are the cables not protected in a steel pipe inside a cement encasement ?

Now how will the unemployed coal miners stream porn and dial-up speed?

Another reason why I'm a believer in the wireless connections now over wired, the joke is they go through all that effort and expense to lay that cable and then the speeds you get at the end of it aren't even that good or consistent. We have the exact same problem here in the UK, when 5G rolls in the broadband companies are going to go bankrupt no matter how much anti-5G propaganda gets pumped out.

A cable (or rather fiber) beats wireless in speed, reliability, long-term operating cost etc.
