Big Plan for Broadband

We here at Aurora University understand bad broadband. At certain points during the day we hit peak usage and the inter...ne....t...s....l..ows.....t...o...a...........................................................................

Something like that. The internet pretty much stops working. The FCC has decided that the United States needs a broadband overhaul. Currently about a third of Americans live without broadband in their homes. The FCC not only wants to bring broadband to those people but also increase broadband speeds from an average of 4mbps to an average of 100mbps. Holy crap!

Suddenly a thing of the past

That kind of internet connection would be blisteringly fast. I actually can't fathom how fast that is.


Kinda like this...but FASTER!

The only problem that the FCC has that it needs to get Congress to approve the budget to start this project and create jobs and bring the United States up to standard and beyond in the broadband world it shouldn't be a proble....shoot. It wouldn't be a problem if Congress weren't busy breaking records and celebrating watermelons. Seriously, in the last 20 years no Congress has ever managed to pass so few bills or proposed so many "potential" bills. To date Congress has only passed 253 bills. Most of them are complete and utter BULL(BEEP)... you heard me complete BULL(BEEP). No, I'm not just being a typical angry American. Here is a quote that proves some that.

"As Mark Twain once said, 'When one has tasted watermelon he knows what the angels eat.' I encourage my colleagues to join me in acknowledging the wisdom of Mark Twain by supporting this resolution," Sen. Chambliss said on the Senate floor. The only problem: July is about 14 days late for a Watermelon Month. The crops come in in mid June.

What the great and wise Senator Chambliss is talking about is the proposition that made July 14 "watermelon day" or some other bull(BEEP) like that. Really Senator? Really? Who really (BEEP)ing cares. Everybody is flaming angry that nothing important is getting done and this is the reason why, it's not because the president is or was incompetent(debatable...later) it's because Congress won't get its head out of its at sign dollar sign dollar sign. The FCC has a plan and although it won't be completed by 2020 it's a step that needs to be taken. However, due to Congress the plan most likely will not pass. The republicans don't seem to think that throwing money at an issue will solve it and the democrats won't want to start doling out cash when the economy is already broke. So it looks like we will have to suffer with this

*sigh* still hasn't moved

Instead of enjoying this

Cept on fire cuz it's SOOO fast
