Sorry, it's so hard to believe, you have to explain how.

I live very rural and my only other option was 500kbps on a good day internet which doesn't work for my software engineering job. So I ended up having to make tons of calls and beg and plead and I finally found a fiber provider who would trench a line directly to my house for me.

Problem is...I'm paying for it for 10 years now.

But it was worth it.
