I wish this would happen in Minneapolis. When ISP's get in bed with politicians creating laws that subsequently shut out all competitions, the ones that suffer the most are the consumers. Comcast has been the bane of my existence: slow speeds, high price, terrible customer service. The CEO has the audacity to say that people don't like COmcast customer service? Right, because I enjoy paying $90/month for 50mbps. Allowing municipals/counties/districts built their own will benefit the consumer overall, it might even improve neighborhoods to foster businesses to open up (or local offices, what have you).
- Omniusaspirer 12y agoIf you're paying $90/month for just the 50mbps (no TV) then I recommend you call and be utterly furious. When they attempted to bump me to that price it took a phone call and insisting on escalations through 4 people but here I am- back at $40/month where I started a few years ago. The first several people you get on the phone will tell you there's nothing you can do, just ask to be elevated to "somebody useful". It's rude but it's the game they force you to play, so go in swinging.
