The problem for most businesses in the US outside the bubble of big industry, is internet fucking sucks in the US.

I'm at a manufacturer in the US in the NYC metro area, we pay $3k/month for 50 mbps guaranteed fiber internet (which we fully saturate). The upgrade to 100mbps was priced at $15k/month from the only provider in the area (used to be independent, then Optimum, and now all owned by the Altice monopoly)

It's a weird path Microsoft is on but I guess if only they want to knee cap their potential customer base long term, then :shrug:
