It definitely strikes me as a low quality poll. Or, at least not enough information reported here.
I have Verizon Fios. The day-to-day service is fine and I get roughly what I pay for (200/200 for $39/month with an option to go quite a bit faster if I want to pay more).
But, I'd love to have some competition and downward price pressure. Don't much care if it's municipal or private, I just want an option.
And I live in a wealthy suburb and realize lots of people don't even have one good option. Heck, even within my zip, Fios isn't 100% available and the cable internet providers are universally awful.
- dont__panic 6y ago200/200 for $39 in the US? You don't know how lucky you are! I personally have gigabit up/down for $70/mo, but I would happily slash my rates to 200/200 for 50% off or so. However, I wouldn't want to go below 100 up/down for any amount of savings since at some point you're actually hurting download speeds for OS/game updates and 4k video. Where in the US do you live? My only experience with Fios was in NYC, and the lowest rates I've seen there are around 60-70.
