I don't know if anyone told you this or not, but fiber and copper network lines have to be connected to function. you can't just run them in one neighborhood and magically have them connect to another across the state.

    youre right and the only way to cross the desert is connect every square km identically to how you would a suburb, how could I not think of this?

    And those lines, we must put them in new now nothing like this already exists, what have usaians have been doing until now?? poor Cali cut off from the rest of the internet :(

    edit: Now I'm imagining markiplier driving an HDD across the Oregon trail every time he uploads a video so the east coasters can view it too
