Where does the Internet come from?

The basics of how the Internet works.

The Big Lie

We’ve all been lied to, but when we’re lied to by those we rely on, it’s the worst. Right now, we are all subject to a lie about our Internet access.

The offers are a bit dated, but Community-Fiber Networks are still a better deal than the incumbents.
