Sounds lovely.
You are aware that most of us in the US don’t actually have options like that, correct? I’d dump my ISP in a heartbeat if those plans were available to me.

I’m quite aware of the ISP situation in the USA and it has been worse at each home I’ve lived in before. I’ve had shitty AT&T connections at 4 homes with no other options there. Things have gotten much better in the last 5 years overall. Fiber is rolling out all across the country from local utilities like phone and power. Look for your local options, and avoid the big companies.
