The US has build their subway systems 100 years ago, but now doesn’t want to take down and rebuild a new one.
Meanwhile, a country developing the subway recently would have the newest and lastest systems and technology, since why use old technology if you’re starting from scratch.
The US have no platform safety barriers because they’re used to it.
Meanwhile, China only recently has subway so they looked at the US and thought “Hmm, looks like people can fall on the tracks” so they built a platform safety door system.
Like imagine telling schools to get rid of all their windows XP machines. Old habits die hard.
TLDR: Its easy to use new technology when you are building new, vs having to dismandle the old system and then build it again.
I think this is true to an extent but from my experience the network is usually well-maintained (latest DOCSIS, low ping, etc) and the backend seems to support IPv6 but people don’t have a clue how anything works.
I can tell cable installers have no clue how networks work beyond the coaxial cable coming into the premises. Nothing against them, that’s great, but it’s crazy to me that they look flabbergasted when I do a simple ping to check for connectivity.
On top of that, customer service probably gets harassed by people that don’t know anything wanting help for more premises/LAN problems. But they literally don’t know what IPv6 is — that’s like minimum networking knowledge — so even if you’re smart you won’t get anywhere with them.
It’s whay I called the “Old Railroad Theory”
