    Why don’t you switch to a different ISP? Last time I checked I could choose from 13 different ISPs on fiber alone, and that’s in ‘socialist’ Europe. I can’t even dream of how many options someone in ‘free market’US must have.

      Regulatory capture means that a shockingly high proportion (I’d be willing to bet it’s a strong majority) of unitedstatesians have precisely one viable option for an ISP with meaningfully high speed.

      Source: I’ve been forced to purchase Comcast for the vast majority of my adult life, and I’ve lived in a bunch of different neighborhoods in two major US cities.

      Edit: this is fine, I am fine with this
