LOL!!

I moved somewhere, where the local government owns the majority share of the teleco that provides the Internet in the area. 30% ownership is co-op, which leaves something like 15% that's private interest. The ISP runs amazing, 1Gbps fiber to the house for $45/mo and the co-op just forwarded a motion to the local government for consideration to upgrade to 10Gbps.

I moved here from a place that was a Comcast monopoly zone that gave max 350Mbps for $70/mo.

In a better society the CEOs of AT&T and Comcast would have already been dragged out into the street, long before we got to this point.

Yeah, I have 1.2 Gbps from Comcast for $80, plus another $30 for unlimited data, so $110 total. Upload is still only 35 Mbps. It's ridiculous but there's no other options.
