In my rural community this map shows Verizon offering 10mbps down, 1.5mbps up. Verizon barely offers POTS here, and I just reconfirmed with them this morning that they do not offer any Internet to me. How much of this map is overstating connectivity? What a waste of money!

I understand if you also install WOW your protection doubles.

Is this a problem or a feature?

How many police officers and civilian lives were saved due to their use? How many criminals are still alive today because a taser was used instead of a gun?

Don't break the law and you won't risk your life to a taser. I fail to see how something that is painful and has a non-zero chance of death is automatically torture and should be outlawed. By that measure we should outlaw the average daily commute.
