The number of cities with municipal broadband has jumped over 4x in two years
This is just an anecdote, but I just moved to the suburbs from the city. My WiFi is so much better in the suburbs!In my apartment I had no choice but to run ethernet cables through the whole place because I couldn't get strong WiFi despite having a gigabit connection. Can't get much more than 100 Mbps down over WiFi with a clear line-of-sight and often much worse.My apartment would find dozens of wireless networks.When I moved to the suburbs, I immediately started researching how to get ethernet to my home office (upstairs from the router) but was stunned to be getting 300 Mbps+ download through WiFi, same router, through a wall, despite having slightly slower hard-wired download speeds.Interference from the other networks is my theory.
