in order for the vehicle to have plates, it must have the state minimum liability insurance. your auto plan probably explicitly excludes rentals unless you pay extra or have some premium coverage.

You are still not wrong about our rail system, god forbid a passenger train hold up a freight train for one second, won't someone think of the shareholders???

Also included is the NY Thruway which was a toll road that was integrated into the interstate system in several parts.

if you are on an expressway, and often roads smaller, usually grade crossings are avoided if possible. either the rail is on a bridge, and the road dips under, or the road is on a bridge and crosses the rail. it won't show as a hazard on the route in either of those cases.

i think they are referencing map apps vs gps as a technology

yeah that's garbage, we just started rolling 2.5/500 in certain xgs-pon areas. i think minimum now (for fiber, we still have vdsl/adsl) is 500/50. i don't sell any of it just work on the technical side.

Some service-provider level technology is not symmetrical at the access layer. An ISP serving exclusively fiber may have values like below:

GPON (GIGAbit passive optical network): 1.24416 Gigabits/s up, 2.48832 Gigabits/s down

XG-PON (10 gigabit passive optical network): 10G/2.5G

xgS-pon (10g Symmetrical optical network): 10g/10g

Note that on all of these technologies, you are also sharing bandwidth with neighbors on your PON. Sometimes up to 64 subs on one gpon. I think 128 on xgs-pon Until more providers make fiber available, as well as are willing to fork more up for the latest equipment, and reduce the over subscriptions of pons, symmetrical services for everyone just won’t happen.

Will this ever happen at mega providers / baby-bells? Probably never unless a regional or startup pops up, and then they will only attempt compete in that market.
