Not a bad idea. But since I don't actually use the services I'm not getting, I'll likely just vote with my wallet instead.
- edoceo 6y agoHow could you vote with your wallet if there is not competition?
- nobody9999 6y ago> How could you vote with your wallet if there is not competition? Actually, where I live there is competition. In fact, there is a second cable ISP in my apartment building. What's more, in addition to the cable ISP I have (Spectrum), I have a DSL link (Fusion) as well. I'd dump Spectrum (and tried to do so), but long term construction has blocked access to the access points for my building, so I'm stuck with them for now. Once the scaffolding blocking access is removed (it's been up for more than three years), Spectrum will be history for me. Even more, Verizon has been claiming they're trying to get access to implement FIOS in my building, but I think they're lying since they were able to site a cell tower on the roof a couple years ago. However, I live in the most densely populated city in the US. In most other places in the US there are, at most, two ISPs which provide service. Usually a cable provider and a DSL or Satellite provider. That's what I meant be a lack of competition. My apologies if I didn't make that clear.
