    Ah yes you’re right, the Internet is a series of tubes and we need to pay the plumbers to maintain the tubes for leaks

      I get where you’re coming from, but there is significant maintenance required. Cables and equipment break or need upgrading, routes get changed, loads change over time in different areas due to population and service movement…

        Yeah i know, but if one location changes over 10x others, you know that one location is a problem and not the lack funding to infrastructure.
