- gottorf 3y agoWhat wealthy customer is going to sue the local ISP over pricing? It's far more likely that garden-variety economic factors are the cause. Imagine: poorer neighborhoods are less profitable (if nothing else, because more people sign up for the lower-priced plans), which means competitors don't want to get in, which means the incumbent has no incentive to lower prices that they might elsewhere.
