Yeah.. this is going to backfire quickly.

  Why do American ISPs hate their subscribers?
  • pixl97 6y ago
    Because subscribers have no other choices. Captive markets are fun to abuse.

      Yep this makes sense. Hell will freeze over when communities are able to get federal/state funding to run their own municipal fiber as an alternative to big telcos.

        I worked for an ISP at the time a city tried that. Rather than fix our infrastructure they spent millions holding up/preventing the city from laying fiber.

  Sadly not likely. Most of their customers have no other choices.

    Lets hope starlink lives up to the hype and brings more options!

      I want to believe it will but it seems like more of a rural play ... maybe that ends up being just stage 1 but it is really not clear to me how well this scales as far as competition in other places goes.
