High-speed internet service is lacking in much of rural America. The causes are complicated, but non-competitive cable markets, misguided government funding, and infrastructural obstacles have limited expansion up until now. Despite the troubles, some rural Americans are receiving internet via both wireless and wireline systems, but the internet service many receive falls short of the 25mbps up/3mbps down set by the Federal Communications Commission in 2015 during the Obama Administration. Receiving that level of service typically requires a wireline connection provided by fiber optic cable, which many rural residents don't have because the remote territories that would be served are hard to reach and require massive investments that private cable companies like Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast aren't willing to make. If service is available, it is often much more expensive than similar service in urban markets. An idea for solving the problem might be to adopt the funding model similar to the one that helped expand rural electrification during the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. At that time, the government paid local electric cooperatives willing to do the work to provide electricity in their communities. Unlike electrification, there are many models for broadband deployment, including cooperatives, but also municipal broadband, private companies and other public-private partnerships. If Trump's government plans to spend more money on rural broadband, then following the model of electrification might help correct some of the funding troubles that have plagued broadband expansion up to this point.

When did they say that though
@@ashinthehouse1710 the last third of the video was about how the FCC (a federal commission under his control) proposed lowering the benchmark from 25 mb/s to 10, which doesn't actually help very much at all because the vast majority of the US already has 10 mb/s so filling the rest of the map becomes way easier. However since legally its now 10, by just filling in the tiny pockets left in 4G (10 mb/s) coverage he can claim to have brought infrastructure plans.
However, 10 isn't enough or anything more than casual web browsing. You can't send large amounts of medical data, stream videos (an increasingly prominent part of education), or a whole bunch of other things that would actually help the rural US get out of poverty. 25 mb/s is way harder, but is what is needed to be a significant improvement over what hte rural US already has
XD correct

60Mbps is about 7MBps, that's about right.
Why 24 million Australians don't have fast internet (entire population)
Taine Kingi not exactly true
You had a plan for a national broadband deployment. Then some new politicians got elected to power and changed it to some odd combinations of old technology and lax requirements.
*shhh this is supposed to be an American bashing circlejerk* World needs to not know Canada, Australia, many parts of Europe have the same issue.. would make the USA seem more reasonable! don't want that, do we??
You know, the funny part is that most areas in Canada *don't* have the same issue, because most of us live in cities with extremely fast cable, fibre, or both. :)
I live in Toronto, a city of 2.7 million, and the whole place is covered in fibre. If Bell can do it, why can't AT&T do it in LA or Verizon in NYC?
The NBN was one of many bold but very expensive plans that saw Fibre To The Home as a necessity. The problem is, there's no particular reason to think Fibre _is_ a necessity. Imagine if that "Electrification of America" had assumed every home needs 115kV multi-phase supply, with huge high voltage pylons snaking out to every shack. The US Federal government might have bankrupted itself trying to deliver that. And for what? It might see some value if home Aluminum smelting became a thing, otherwise it's just wasted.
25Mbps can be delivered much more cheaply with networks that take fibre only to within a kilometre or so of each home, and use existing copper cables for the "last mile" to the home at a lower speed. In rural communities this can mean costs are dramatically lower than a "fibre everywhere" plan, and suddenly it goes from a huge budget item to something very affordable and thus actually gets delivered.
Fibre is a good idea for new installations. It makes sense to mandate that, say, house builders run fibre to new properties that are closer to existing fibre rather than doing whatever they've been doing since the 1980s. This is because copper is more costly to maintain over the long term. But that advantage is too marginal to justify ripping out all the existing copper and starting over as the NBN planned. On the bandwidth side, FTTH lets you plausibly do 1000Mbps. Which sounds great. But 1000Mbps is like that 115kV electricity supply, if you don't need it then you just wasted a lot of money for no benefit - and you don't need it.
5:24 ONE TRILLION????? He does realize that 1,000,000,000,000 is almost 1/19 of the US GDP, right?
sounds familiar
And they want to “save” the deficit.
I get your point and it does go against the whole Republican thing of lowering spending but it is not like the money is disappearing. It gets recirculated in the economy so it's not as bad as it seems when a politician proposes a spending bill like this so long as they're not over-printing money that will drive exponential inflation

I'm sitting over here with google fiber trying to remember what 10 mbps was even like.
Not when you have a family of 8 in a 3 story house.
the number of floors does matter, the further you are from your router and the more obstacles in the way drastically decreases your speeds. I have over 250mbps internet on my ethernet which is 4 feet from my pc, but if i take my laptop to the other side of my house on wifi that drops to a snail's pace of 5mbps. At that speed, it's not capable of supporting even one person watching a 720p youtube video from start to finish without bad buffering and wait time...
unless you have a professional come in and cut up your walls to insert ethernet cables that go to each portion of your house from your router then that's not a feasible option for any person.
You should be happy though, here in the Philippines, corrupt capitalists and internet companies, drains our bank accounts by requesting more money while internet rarely even goes up beyond 2 mbps

oscar trujillo It isn't that they "didn't chose" to become a state, the U.S. just hasn't done anything to change the "associated state" status, which is a 20th century way of calling what in the 19th would be called "colony".
They want to be a state. The US won't let them become a state because they're poor and have infrastructure problems.

I live in St.Petersburg, Russia, and here we have super fast internet (enough to watch series like GOT online in 1080p without any delays) for super cheap price (~15 cents per day). But we live in constant danger of internet being potentially blocked by government - Chinese scenario or even worse :(
In the study you linked at 1:20, the image corresponds to a correlational relationship between broadband adoption and education/unemployment/poverty, not causal.
most statistical analysis is a correlation. they arent saying it is the cause, but that it could be part of the cause of those things. Correlation isn't necessarily useless.

This video suddenly really makes me feel grateful for getting to live in an area where everyone can get wifi. And then I realize America is really lucky for its problem getting to be slow wifi, instead of poverty or famine.
tftm Lol really? Poverty and hunger are major issues in America...
tftm Poverty and hunger ARE massive problems in America. The problem is that these can be offset by better educational opportunities and community programs. These opportunities and programs often NEED broadband service to function due to their remote locations. So by fixing internet access we can improve other problems.
Agree! tftm, if you actually watched the video, they talked about how slow wifi affects health issue and education inaccessibility among many other problems. A lot of things become digitalized now and we depend on internet so much, that fixing the slow wifi could actually improve these social issues. Plus, if you live in US big cities you might not really acknowledge the poverty and famine that US has, but there are many rural area that aren't exposed by media where those issues are very present. Many living near industrial factory, not only face poverty but also health issues caused by pollution.
tftm yeah, slow WiFi and lack of affordable healthcare is all we got.

This whole thing is pretty mind-blowing to me 😲
As a Swede living most of my life in a city, I've grown up with some of the fastest internet connections you could have on both schools and at home. Later in life, Sweden had even started to provide those high speed internet connections to rural areas.
Internet plays such a huge role in modern society, and it makes me laugh when you see these republicans try to "solve" the issues through dirty tricks / misleading statements, thus fooling their own people.
In short, to me, this is plain and simple - they're trying to keep the rural areas without proper internet so that they can get more votes from the uneducated side of the republican voters.
I would really like to see Vox do a follow up video on this to show the correlation (if any) between the access to high speed internet (broadband as per Obama's standard) and what political party the people in each area generally votes for.
stop tryna compare your small country to the 4th largest int the world
I wouldn't say they are trying to get uneducated Republican voters. I would say nobody wants to foot the bill. Not the government and not the ISPs.
Nobody wants to read that and thats just boring

I went to watch this and got a playback error and had to reload it lol
Dropping the high speed Internet standard so that you can say " more Americans now have high speed Internet than ever before, especially rural Americans" is about the same as dropping the grade needed for a letter grade in school so that "more children can get a higher grade on their report card." You don't drop the standard so that more people can hit the standard, you raise the standard so more people can strive towards that new standard.
I thought this was America.

Mean while in NASA' S headquarters they are kicking back and enjoying their 91 gigabytes per second wifi

0:29 Correlation vs causation. you guys really need to look this up.
I was looking for this comment. Such a basic mistake. Those areas have better internet BECAUSE they are better off, they didn't become successful because of good internet....
I think it's more a meta belief that if attention is put into providing broadband internet for rural communities in the U.S., then it is reasoned that it will follow with additional attention to other problems in those communities. That is still a problem though, as this assumption is not verifiably accurate and has no reliable source, such as IMO many other meta beliefs. Just wanted to point out that there is a bit more nuance to the error than what you say there is.
In a similar manner, there's a difference between formal error and wrong conclusion.
Correlation is not causation regarding internet speeds, employment, and education.
Actually, it is. Every single region that gets internet does better on all of those fronts, including employment, education, finance, standard of living and so on.
@@logoslive Chicaco has strict gun laws, but tons of gun crime. Saying that stricter gun laws leads to more gun crime is absolutely false. Just like Internet speed and access, regional and social factors play a big factor too.

These people should have experienced the 2G speed in india before jio. Then they will know what pain was.
availability does not = access. What broadband that is available is expensive through artificial price points dictated by monopolies.
exactly, which is why mobile plans are cheap, comparativly. all three providers have overlapping coverage, sparking competition.
in korea, the three mobile companies provide both, and ANY company can use ANY fibre optic cable I believe. the 3 companies are SKT, KT, and LG (yes that LG). in mobile its SKT 50%, KT 30%, LG 20% while in broadband (NO ONE uses modem, duh, when unlimited 3G plans are literally cheaper and more reliable) its KT 50%, SKT30%, and LG 20%.
Wait, mobile plans are cheap?
Stuart Schindler for what you get, and considering the area they cover, yes.
There is a cost to provide any utility, what the data behind your assertion the price being charge is artificial? An inability to or unwillingness to pay the rate being charged isn't evidence of "artificial price points" I'm not pro monopoly, but I have been active in providing "free" to the user services, so forgive me if I see your comment, as made by someone who doesn't have a clue.

This video can be also called “Why everyone in Australia has shitty internet compared to the rest of the world” cause Vox basically explains it

Ignore that sandvitchman man and Ezilla 2013; they're just being racist. It does suck to hear about that connection speed though. Access to the internet should be a basic human right here in the Information Age, and a speed that low is unacceptable. Of course, we have a long way to go in EVERY country before we can focus on that problem.
I have pretty much the same speeds here in America :(
This is a case of Correlation, not Causation. Ya, you're right Vox! Lack of Broadband is responsible for less college education, and more unemployment. Or maybe these are pre existing features of rural vs urban America.... just maybe....

Why not use Ethernet Over Power? You know that electricity can carry data (look it up). The only reason why they don’t do it currently is that you have to just add a small cable to each power Transformer, but the data companies don’t wanna do that because they don’t want the power companies to be involved In their business model.
That's what I experienced.
Travel in China in a National Forest: Yep, I still have 3/4G and I can check the updated weather forecast for tomorrow.
Cruising on one of the touristy Highway, Hwy 1 in California: Nop, I couldn't even make a reservation call for the restaurant tonight, sorry honey.
BTW, I went to Grand Canyon (Tusayan) and also the Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon in Page. I can promise there is one of the famous places to visit if you plan to road trip to the West(For both foreigner and American)...And what I experienced was, they do not support ATT, instead they have T-Mobile and/or Verizon coverage...I stayed in the US for 6+ years and s still couldn't understand why.
At least from a foreigner perspective, with 4g coverage almost all the time during my travel in my country. Seen popular places but without full cell phone coverage is kind of ridiculous.
Who’s here after after the 1 trillion infrastructure bill has the largest investment in broadband which would expand broad band to almost 17million Americans

There s no reason why other people should pay for your internet. If you want higher speed, move to a place where there is higher speed.
Maxime Meis you realise people can’t just magically move their entire life to a city right? There are jobs, family, and ntm, housing prices in cities tend to be significantly higher than in more rural areas, so it’s likely they wouldn’t even be able to afford to move.
Libby Bollinger I do. Decisions have consequences. Good and bad. And for people the drawbacks of moving to the city outweight the benefits of a faster internet. Decisions imply trade off. People don t have a right to make other people bear the consequences of their choices. If you live in the middle of nowhere you don t have a right to make people who live in the city pay for the fast connexion you want. If you want it, pay for it or move to the city.
Yeah Let me move out of this part of the world to get better internet.
Broadband is expensive. How do you know the slow internet is cause and not the effect of lower income?
Exactly. This guy at vox sucks. He is terribly biased.
Al Mah I do not like vox but my family pays for the best internet we can’t get and we get about .50 mbps
Imagine what it’s like today with online school.
10mbps for 5$ here in Bangladesh per month.
Iftekhar Ahmed not bad
savage q As we are connected to the second submarine cable from this month, we hope the speed will be doubled in a few weeks.
Thanks to the present govt.
eh what? just go outside of Dhaka,the further you go both price/speed gets shittier and shittier paying almost 12$ for 2mb/s down 10mb/s up wiredline and talkbout so called 3G 4G? lol those will put everyone to shame.
and pls don't count those local peered and cached google steam uplay akamai speeds,everyone gets these things in every country.
EDIT: oh forgot about those cheap shared IPs lmayo...
Just go my new network installed here in Norway. Its about 1000mbps and i only pay 60 dollars a month!
The internet here in Zambia (an African country BTW) is worse but I see your frustration
Keno Badogomba Maybe you should move to Nambia. I hear that their healthcare system is becoming increasingly self sufficient. 😂
Keno Badogomba Zambia isn’t designed to be a running state its designed for the extraction of resources as long as there are disfuncional democracies in Africa that will always be the case
Zambia is not a shitty country. Be proud Keno
Keno Badogomba i know the capital, it's Lusaka i know all of them
+Viper 47 ---> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zambia ---> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namibia
Using Germanys broadband as a positive example might be a bold move...
I wish I could share my 500mbps😔
Lol Ajit Pai makes no internet

So you can perfectly understand what he says and would say he did not have alot of grammatical errors?
I live in the middle of a city (Toronto) and I have 2 options: 1 ISP offers 100 Mbps over cable for about $60 USD, and at peak hours it becomes 15-20, which is still fast, but UA-cam still buffers at that time. The other ISP offers up to 5 Mbps for $50 USD. You'd think that the slower one would be better, as they're offering it at the same price as a much better connection, but that one is also cable. Fiber optic cables have been installed across the city, yet they curiously forgot my area. So that's fun. Unreliable rural internet for the next 3-5 years.
The other ISP assured me over dm that, by August (this was in June), they would offer fiber optic in my area. Nearly October, and nothing has changed
In high school, I asked my brother to go into town and use free wifi to get Wikipedia pages (and resources) so I could learn more about subjects that our books skimmed past. Wikipedia was banned at my school because of pornographic content and eventually we finally had it unblocked due to teachers and students.
so your telling me California the big big city with 54 electoral votes does not have broadband?
I would actually die.
Inferno no you wouldn't
you actually wouldn't
Inferno not if you were never introduced to the internet
I can confirm you would want to but you wouldn't
14mbit downstream 2mbit upstream. We pay 75$ a month for that crap.
Man how I love northern Sweden!! :D
jackseptic eye That would be Finland you're thinking of.
+jackseptic eye Not in the north, and not if you live in a rural area or just outside a city. The internet inside cities is good though.
Henriko Magnifico Still better than my internet. I live in a UK city and i get 5 up 0.7 down
75 for 14mbit sir i think you have been rickrolled
£50/m for 300 down 20 up in the UK 😁
Gotta love Virgin Media lol
Correlation is not causation.
Bad internet connection by itself does not cause lower life quality.
The reverse it true, obviously. AND our websites are overbloated.
seriously, why doesn't medicare.gov have a low bandwidth version? I'm sure some contractor would love to be paid $30 Billion building that website after a "competitive" bid
We JUST got broadband fiber last month in our area. Life changer I tell ya 😂. We didn’t know what to do with all this internet available on all our devices. Didn’t realize we were missing out.
The government just needs to enforce that all building connections must be 500mbps fiber. That will get all ISPs moving fast to get that dark fiber up and running to each house and business across the country. They can't possibly squeeze that much speed out of copper. I'd like to see them try.
if they can run and maintain landline phone service they can maintain a fiber connection in rural areas.
Comcast and its ilk will almost certainly blanket the government with lobbying efforts to stop that from ever happening.
My phone started buffering as soon as this video started lol
i literally got that "circle" in the circle
I don’t live in those circles but still have slow internet😇
In my hometown, Fort Collins, Colorado, they are making fiber optic internet (ie something like google fiber) a utility, effectively eliminating privatized internet for the masses in the area, lowering costs and increasing internet speed.
Eric Krehbiel ayyy I’m in foco too
But isn't utility still privatized?
Not if it is done by the city itself or a public utility like a publically owned electricity or telephone company/cooperative.
It's a shame like 90% of areas ban non-privatized internet lol monopoly and paid politicunts
Literally while I was watching this my screen buffered lol
Spooky Skeleton same lol
I remember getting broadband internet in 1999 here in Denmark while most of the USA was still using dial up.
The greatest “superpower” has the largest population of below average internet speeds available to people who don’t live in populated cities
If we have something going for us in eastern Europe that is very good internet speed because nobody would touch our net neutrality, there would be riots, for example i just paid my basic internet package, 9$ for 100mbs down/ 10 mbs up, and this is the basic pack mind you, we have better ones for 25-40$ that have really good fiber optic speeds and are used by streamers etc
It always baffled me that one of the most developed countries in the world has such slow internet speeds + GB caps (300 - 500 - 1000), there is no such thing as GB caps here and in my opinion they are ridiculous
4$ for 10mb/s in Russia(Moscow). No limits, of course. For 8$= 50mb/s. Why Western Europe have shitty internet is out of my understanding.
I have 30/mbps down for $40 (unlimited),but my cell has a 300MB cap.
Here in the middle of nowhere Nevada, my internet SUCKS... I even mention it in my few, short videos. Ughhh, that's why I can't and don't post videos after my first 3; it takes FOREVER 😵😶
thefallen_princess how long? It generally is slow to upload videos on to UA-cam. Tell me about how long your videos are and how long they take to upload. I have the same problem and live in Florida, where we are suppose to have high speed everywhere
+steve b moving isn't exactly simple dumbass...
+steve b and certainly not worth better wifi.. You must be young
Yup, I'm in Gardnerville and it's awful.
Ssssaaaammmmmeeee im in Nevada too
Dude, here in Brazil we use wireless connection everywere, and when u have acess to line the fastests speed are about 12~20 mbps
My wire connection is 15 mbps. I think it is great. Used to have wireless though... it could be fast but it was very inconsistent. When it rained the connection sucked.
Space X is making Star link and that can fix the broad band gap problems.
1:01 epic sax guy aye
Bringing back the viral loops.
It's not a loop. That's a common misconception.
