Does this happen in your country?

>running away from a monopoly

can I like make my own modem and provide myself with internet on my own? I know how dumb this question sounds but I’m srs

lol at the american """""free"""""market

I mean technically you can by moving to a competitive zone with a population density of a set amount. Other than that gl.

I need to buy Comcast shares.

Comcast is overburdened with debt from being forced to cover people that it's not profitable for them to do. Same with centurylink. Would recommend verizon/att if you want an ISP to invest in.

Congratulations, you now realize that Internet is a utility and that private utilities are retarded.

So I have a question for you my friend. Much of my state is not profitable to run powerlines yet people out there have electricity. How do they do it?

can't remember what isp my brother had in NY but it sucked monkey balls, we were having troubles all the time with the tv and the Internet was super slow

I have rural internet. 100GB a month for $100.

I use this site with all images turned off until a thread text interests me enough to turn it on.

kinda this, they've been fighting over a new glass fibre net for years and the upc guys ripped me for a coax fibre, finally we had a vote and instead of a private company the city's electricity company built the glass net. now I have optical fibre and 20 different carriers to choose from for cheap and google has their Europe headquaters here.

>100GB a month for $100.
Stop telling lies on the internet.

I'll tell something that burns your ass.
There are people in the middle of fuck nowhere Colorado where the nearest town has a population of 100 and these people have 1000/1000 internet.

It’s this because net neutrality was killed?

I just upgraded mine, 30 yurobux a month

He isn't lying.
No it's because comcast wants to keep it's revenue up since zoomers don't bundle tv with their internet and to get people to rent their equipment.

The New World, I bow

That's how it be man. If I didn't spend $32,000 to have a line ran to my house I wouldn't have internet.

Did you consider just getting a mobile connection or satellite internet?

I can't even call 911 where I live let alone NOAA transmissions. See to know why I didnt do satellite internet. Besides I got a deal it was only $15,000 per mile.

many such cases

I mean, I'd rather take the option to pay out of my ass for a capped connection than pay out of my ass to have the privilege to have a capped connection that you still have to pay for.

Im not capped by my ISP but again if they just pay for a comcast modem or an additional $50/mo they have no data cap. My situation is different as I literally live in such a middle of nowhere and I really don't have any other options than spend the money to build out internet to my property.

That's not really fair, Europe is so densely populated that infrastructure is a lot easier to get to everyone. Look at Canada, it's trying to emulate Europe in most of the things it does, but it's still difficult and / or expensive to get Internet for everyone over there.

You can thank FDR for that.
