Have your US federal powers done to Alaskans so much evil that Alaskans should want to secede? You are not required to speak Kenyan or Hawaiian, to serve in army where commands are given in Kenyan, to write official letters in Havaiian, to meet schoolchildren from schools where they are told that their Kenyan-Havaiian ancestors dug the Pacific, and so on (You understand). Why should you invite the polite men?

Russia relies not on roads but on railways.

It's quite COLD there for the Russia-Alaska bridge. The tunnel would be better.

I personally traveled from Nizhneudinsk to Kabansk in 90-th and the car road was satisfactory. There was some bad place between Chita and Khabarovsk but the railway there was and is OK.

Every one color revolution begins from requests to punish corruption and ends in total chaos. I don't need a color revolution in Soviet Russia.

I see you never heard of us Russians drinking eau de cologne. My American friend traveled from Khabarovsk to Irkutsk by train and was quite shocked to see Russians drinking cosmetics.

I have a gut feeling that you reside somewhere in ex-USSR, probably in Baltic country. In Soviet Russia it would not work for 2 reasons: 1) The business link is expensive. My employer pays 3000 Roubles a month for 3 MBit/s for 20 persons department, I pay 600 Roubles a month for 20 MBit/s for my beloved self (really 10, but it's my fault, not provider's). 2) Due to specifics of Soviet Russian law, I risk severe penalties for everything extremist posted by clients but the tax service may turn the blind eye to me.

In USA it's much more serious than in Soviet Russia since you cannot legally collect Internet fees without proper taxation and US tax is severe. You should consult a lawyer and maybe establish a non-profit.

1. If you can not locate your antenna on a proper side of your building - it's really terrible. At least in Soviet Russia I never had such a terrible problem, some solution has been always found, be it a box installed in a lobby on other side, be it a rooftop installation or a long antenna protruding from the balcony. You also may inebriate an elevator technician or a landlord himself. If you have so bad relation with every one of your neighbors so that they don't let you install the box on their balcony - maybe you should relocate to Soviet Russia?

2. The 512kb/s DSL uprate is a political, not technical decision. The technical limit is 1200kb/s.

The correct bureaucracy makes wonders, at least in Soviet Russia, and it should work in the most lawyerist country of the world. File a written request to brodband.gov to list the providers. File a written request to listed providers. Either at least one of them will serve you or your lawyer would do something against brodband.gov.

If he has a lot of acres it's quite possible that some of acres are not obscured from the said microwaves by the said tall building.

My provider is 500 meters from me and is obscured. He gives 400 meters of cable, all other length is mine. If such a config were impossible, I'd install a microwave in my neighbor's house. It's not obscured.

Is it possible to install a T1 line and pass VDSL2 over the cable instead?

Well, write Comcast a registered letter requiring them either install you the internet or officially confirm that the internet will never be installed. Then keep the answer and go to the Municipality with it.

... there is a legal obligation of any official or business entity to answer the letters (that has been abused by dissidents sitting in GULAG and DDOSing the Soviet power). If such obligation exists in USA, then you could just send all the local providers the registered letters with proof of sending and proof of receiving requesting the possibility of connectivity. Or enter their office and leave there an official letter, demanding a registration number on the copy. This bureaucratic magic makes wonders since the bureaucrats should either answer "Yes, we can" and really do, or answer "No, we cannot" that amounts to false advertising.

I live in similar conditions (suburbs) and have a similar 24/7 requirements. Before I moved I checked for connectivity and there were 2 already working options - state monopoly ADSL and a quite competitive CDMA. Now I have 5 links total - CDMA, ADSL, 2 WiFi's with quite big dishes and a VDSL where I was to hang cables myself.

And the last: You may establish a nonprofit entity that would buy a wholesale.

I have repaired a CIH long time ago. I installed an UV EPROM instead of Flash. There was a problem: Each time the computer booted up, it checked the saved config, reported an error and rebuilt the config. It took time but at least it worked. I believe the modern config is too big for this hack.

Problem is NOT the trashed computer - you can simply buy a new one. Problem is that the 3-letter agencies can use this mechanism to covertly collect information about YOU, which may possibly land you in GULAG. And it seems it's quite difficult to detect this leakage.
