All those red counties can keep enjoying paying over $100 a month for terrible local cable company “100mbps” (20mbps in reality) download speeds with 56k upload. That’s the great America they wanted after all. Meanwhile in my very blue city I pay $60 a month for symmetric gigabit.
She has to have cable. For her “stories.” The Comcast bill for her cable and internet access is TWO HUNDRED AND 60 FUCKING UNITED STATES DOLLARS. For dogshit megabyte speeds. Which I pay the majority of.
But hey, for $15 more, we could have “free” Peacock, Spotify, and Apple+!
What a bargain…
And there are literally no competitors except for the town municipal service, which is the same price, since they’re buying bandwidth on cable, and internet.
I used to have $120/month wireless net (dish aimed at a tower on the mountain) that was 15gbps. Then the city seized the abandoned fibre Comcast ran and abandoned. They brought in another company to run the internet (despite saying they were going to make it a utility run by the city). I suspect my $55/month bill for gigabit net is fixing to at least double now.

How quaint.
