    You might be bumfuck-nowhere-adjacent. But if you have DSL, fiber, or cable, you are not in bumfuck nowhere.

      i’m in the outskirts of bumfuck. there’s areas here with maximum dsl speeds under 1 mbit/sec. which the telco naturally sells at a higher price than the 40-60 mbit dsl in other parts of town because it’s the only wireline service available in those neighborhoods (cable’s ridiculously-priced service is their only competitor otherwise, but they don’t cover every part of town)
