A complaint about decaying internet infrastructure is drawing attention: connections that flap in and out, ports hunted for signal, speeds stuck in kilobits and megabits rather than gigabits, and packets lost across noisy lines. The critique targets outdated copper wiring, aging DSLAM equipment and cheap modems that struggle to deliver modern data rates despite space-age hardware elsewhere.
Why now: It gives vivid voice to a widespread frustration with slow, unstable connections on old copper networks.
