But Calin you don't pay for anything as it is
Our place has gigabit for $70 but is in a large metro area. Just shows how much the monopolized rural areas will take advantage of people.

10$ for that speed is the same across the whole country here.

Near a few towns but not really near anything significant. But hey, they ARE known for profuse amounts of moonshine

A friend of mine lives out in the country near Knoxville, Iowa and he is on satellite internet. Suppose to be getting 25mbp, tested it last week and it came up about half of that.
That is a rip offApparently these are the rates available to my parents. Complete rip!
They've had the same speed packages for years but the price keeps going up on the same speed. Dem profits doe.
I’m jealous of you people with your gigabit speeds, our stupid government went with a cheap option and max speed available is 100mbs but because of the crappy cheap second rate technology they used, you can’t even get anywhere close to that due to congestionBut Calin you don't pay for anything as it is

In Canada you can get high download, but unless you go with a smaller provider or are on an institutions connection, if you need more than 50m upload you are pretty much ****ed. My residential package for instance
