      I’m in Canada getting 100mbit down 30 up for $70/month.

      Our telecom industry is awful. They have full regulatory capture.

        Yikes. I thought america was bad… we usually have 1-2 options for internet and they take advantage. I suspect even when there are more options, collusion is happening.

          A competitive market requires double digits of companies at the least. And that’s with serious enforcement of anti-collusion laws. Internet can’t ever be that because it’s infrastructure. It needs to be a government agency.
