What if the broadband companies are right though? I would prefer having a voice in government that isn't just a politician. Obviously an unpopular opinion but municipal broadband would likely not be good for me personally.
- advael 2y agoI have no idea where you get this impression. Municipal fiber projects have by and large provided consistent symmetric fiber broadband at reasonable prices, while ISPs have invariably gouged people, provided both inconsistent and outdated services, while also selling basically any information about your browsing history they can get their grubby mitts on to everyone under the sun. Between that and abysmal customer service, there's a reason they consistently ranked among the most hated companies in the world. And yet every single one of them is making bank. What world do you live in?
- mgraczyk 2y agoThe cities near me that have planned municipal broadband are spending more than $5000 per resident. I pay more taxes than the average person, so I end up spending more than I would spend on private service.
