Familiar with it. I'm the one who posted that article here before....

And there's a hell of a lot more discussion about HFR on other forums. That article isn't the whole story.

Not sure whether you can't comprehend the point being made or are just being deliberately argumentative.

Nobody is disputing that HFR is better than what we have now. What I am suggesting is that what we have now sucks, and so despite spending billions we're getting service that is slower than what we had in the past and even frequency and capacity that would be considered unremarkable in most of the developed world. That is not an attack or even criticism of HFR, which I strongly support. It's a lament about the pathetic state of our infrastructure and the massive underinvestment.
