    The solution to which is broadband competition.

        I like nationalising industries, but here in France, privatizing France Telecom made Internet and phone prices much lower.

          Only because it is highly regulated. The FAIs have to allow everyone access to the network. Free wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for that.

        That’s just another monopoly. How much do you trust your government?

          I pay the cheapest electricity of all of the OECD, and rake in billions every year that is reinvested in society. Thank supply side Jesus for publically owned monopolies.

          How’s that competition going with the Texas grid? You people are so fucking brainwashed that you think the shareholders have your best interests at heart.

      Yeah, that’s why faster wireless broadband is a good thing. Some people do need 1Gbps wireless in town because they can cut the cord on the overpriced cable. Faster wireless means it’ll hold up under congestion better as well.
