Maybe where you are.

Here in Australia, the No B#@@$y Network, when it does actually work,
has been found to not provide the 100Mbps that the feral government
promised, but, actually provides, at best, about 50Mbps (forcing
telecommunications companies to refund lots of money, and, downgrade
their offers, because they could not provide what the feral government
promised), when it does actually work.

The landline Internet access in Australia, is now at the level of
using two tin cans, connected by string. Some stuff gets through, and,
some does not. And, most of the time, access simply does not exist.
ADSL and dialup, were more reliable.

The only reliable Internet access in Australia, now, is using the 4G
network, which gives speed test results about the same as the wired
access (on the odd occasion that the wired access works).

Unfortunately, the feral government determined that Australia should
not have reliable or adequate Internet access, and should keep
deteriorating, technologically and financially.
