It’s wild that it costs over $30 at all for you guys.
Your plan costs $45 a month though?
Comment on California Bill Would Require That AT&T And Comcast Make Broadband Affordable For Poor People

$30 discount on broadband bills
It’s wild that it costs over $30 at all for you guys. In the UK 100Mbps starts at £22/m (~$30) and I’m comfortably at 500mbps at around £35/m ($45) and we’ve got pretty bad deals compared to other European countries!

Yeah, but that’s because I choose the second highest plan available to me. Entry cost is lower, and I’d expect most poor families would go for that or the next tier above.

We pay like 30 euros here for 300-400Mbps

I am curious if that graph is median or mean, because I know that there are a few thousand (probably tens of thousands) people living in areas where the only unlimited (non satillite) internet costs ~$500 a month.

Xfinity NOW is only $30/month for 100/20 Mbps with no data cap. Not sure if it’s available in all Comcast areas though. If you’re an existing customer you have to query a neighbor’s address because they’d rather you not switch.

we have sonic much better than Xfinity. most people around us either have sonic, or xfinity/at&t, but i alway see them switch to sonic eventually.
