🤣🤣😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 Not biased at all. I have a $20 price lock on spectrum ATM, but as soon as that ends I’m going to say goodbye and get 5G because I’m not paying $50 for fixed internet they have a monopoly in the area I’ve moved to.

The cartel says the CIA shouldnt investigate cocaine prices.

Cocaine prices have made little to no change even though recessions, my friend tells me.

Recently saw a report on cocaine, apparently the prices haven’t changed since the 1990s… just the purity has gone down and it now comes laced with fentanyl.

shocking

My three year old often says “Dad don’t look!” When he does that, I know for a fact he’s doing something he shouldn’t be doing.

“we’re not doing illegal, and no you can’t check.”

In my native country gigabit fiber internet is less than $9/mo. Broadband prices in the US are absolutely ridiculous.

50€ for 1000/1000 here. My employer covers it.

46€ for the same here.

30€ if I can do with 1000/100 instead, which most people could.

I pay Comcast $130 for 1000/35

Just Internet, no bundles.

I live very rural and my only other option was 500kbps on a good day internet which doesn’t work for my software engineering job. So I ended up having to make tons of calls and beg and plead and I finally found a fiber provider who would trench a line directly to my house for me.

Problem is…I’m paying for it for 10 years now.

But it was worth it.

I’ve been a big fan of my internet provider for not playing these games, until this year. Them: “ you owe more every month”, me: “you’re raising prices?”, them: “no, prices remain the same and you can continue on your existing plan, but you need to pay more”

If any business tells the government that it should not look to closely into it’s practices, then you know that there is something that needs to be brought to the light and corrected.

Criminal doesn’t want to be investigated.

I agree, the FCC shouldn’t waste time investigating broadband prices. Just nationalize them. And the rest of infrastructure.
