Is it really a damn shame? I can only care about so many things. When it comes to local government I care about crime. I care about taxes. I care about overcrowding on the subway. I care about public schools.
It's hard to care about the policy details of broadband providers. My internet from Time Warner is pretty cheap, it almost never breaks, and it's plenty fast enough for Netflix to work. Why should I care much beyond that?

Why do I care about those who don't?"
- ocdtrekkie 11y agoActually, a pretty large portion of our country (US), in fact, do not give a crud about healthcare beyond the notion that they, themselves, have it. People are incredibly selfish. Welcome to Earth. :)
- toomuchtodo 11y agoJust because America is so terribly broken doesn't mean it can't be fixed.
- harryh 11y agoThat was the "it's pretty cheap" part. The cheapest service is 15 bucks a month. I don't see affordability as a huge problem.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoDoes Time Warner have a monopoly in your area? What service do you get for $15/month?
- harryh 11y agoHonestly I don't know. Goes back to that point about not caring. $15/mo gets you 3MBPS. $30/mo gets you 10. $35/mo gets you 50.
