abadideathe Bad Neighbors (who are somewhere in the elder millennial to younger gen x age bracket) continue to be the first people in the history of the world to ever be angry about a free fiber optic upgrade, I think they literally went outside to yell at the ISP workers to stop laying wires to our building

Daphne Preston-Kendal@0xabad1dea Not the first; the incredibly uptight-German retired lawyer in our block voted against it at our apartment owners’ association meeting (and used such classic tactics to argue against it as ‘it’s not free, our taxes are being spent on it!!1’)

0xC0DEC0DE07EA@glyph @0xabad1dea Fedi needs to know what the Bad Neighbors are so desperate to hide
🏴🏳⚧🏴☠that's hilarious. my bad neighbors are running a DIY child and doggie daycare. I had to put up a screen along the fence line to cut down on the barking (if the dogs can't see us they bark less). their friends all drive loud ass vehicles and i'm pretty sure there's some dealing going on. I so miss the Chinese family that used to live there. at least when they yelled at each other it was in a language I didn't understand and could ignore.
@coolcalmcollected @0xabad1dea Diverse. Communities. Are. Healthy. Communities!
Jernej Simončič �@0xabad1dea I remember 20 years ago when they were pulling fiber in our street, on house had an A4 piece of paper taped on the street next to the trench with "I hadn't ordered this!!!" written on it.
robotreader@0xabad1dea new theory: they work for the old internet company

The best I can get is 15/1 Mbit DSL. Which will be shut down some time between now and 2030.
There is huge bundles of fiber optic cables along the road. There is a large junction box right next to the driveway. The company offered to lay fiber to all apartments for free years ago.
The elderly lady who owns the buildings said no. She didn't want them digging on her property.

I can only imagine them yelling "Glass was not meant to be wires! Stop this mockery!"

Rob Isaac@0xabad1dea My increasingly confident theory is that all previous theories about the cause of their resistance are equally and simultaneously correct.

Maybe they adhere to a non-wireless version of the 5G conspiracy theory?
The fibres will get into our lungs/blood/brain and be used by the government/Bilderbergers/Soros to control us?
(I hope I don't start anything with this 🤔)
