ISPs say anti-discrimination rule should cover only deployment, not prices.

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

            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.

        46€ for the same here.

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