>> I can switch ISPs immediately (provided that there is more than one around).
You may want to look at what percentage of America has this kind of choice (and whether it is a choice between viable and high quality alternatives, as opposed to ones that are equally shitty).
- sneak 7y agoI understand that the situation is dire. I'm saying we need more options, not fewer. What we basically have now is a government monopoly network that happens to be Comcast branded. It's bad.
- dantheman 7y agoMost places without options are where those localities gave a monopoly to a single company -- so that they would subsidize rural people. In the US we need to stop subsidizing the costs of living in the middle of nowhere. Mail, electricity, phone, etc should all cost substantially more - it should reflect the cost of living there.
