Comment on Internet providers say the FCC should not investigate broadband prices
automattable@lemmy.world 7 months agoDon’t let them tell you it’s the lack of density that is the problem. I live in a major US city with high density, and there is only one provider that offers actual broadband at my address (~$100/mo for 500Mb/s service). The “competition” wants me to pay $50/mo for 20 Megabit DSL.

No, it truly is part of the problem and there is no excuse for you to be billed that much. Two things can be true!
I have the option of 200 megabits for $19. It all depends on what infrastructure is already there and how much it costs for them to get the hookup to you whatever it is. I think the real problem is that we’re living under their rules which are based on how much money they can make rather than providing equal access for everyone.
