Proportionally, the price may be comparable. For example, in Massachusetts, the current minimal wage is $10 per hour which translates into about $1700 monthly.

For example, in Massachusetts, the current minimal wage is $10 per hour which translates into about $1700 monthly. 50-100 Mbps in Comcast can be had for about $40-60. Now, a monthly subscription of $2 out of $58 is 1/29, and $1700/29 = $58. Of course, not all components of the prices translate proportionally. Salaries probably do, equipment probably does not.
