When you watch future representation's of the planet in films like blade runner and games like fallout you see these sort of constructions - but I didn't know where the inspiration of that vision of the future came from - until now.

Looks a mess but I bet it works quicker than ours in the west!
And how much cheaper to upgrade to fibre (fiber)?

#7 They connect you to the internet in 25 mintutes( if one of the workers is close) and replace a cable in a few ours.

It's the place when you asked for an internet service... it will be serviceable in just a matter of hours, not days waiting for your scheduled service.

Well I download with 10MB+ per second here in Europe and I see americans complaining all the time on the internet about a 50MB file being too big to download... seriously? I rather have a million wires than think 50MB is too much for my connection, I take that file in 5 seconds or less.

I'd have to assume at least some of those are nonfunctional and it was just too much effort to take them down, easier to just throw up something new as a patch or what have you and over time it's gotten to look like that...
