Fuck that. It costs them nothing to send data through. They are charging people on imaginary shit from subsidized ground lines that we already paid for through taxes. ISPs are as useless as Healthcare Insurers.
It’s all greed. It’s been a while since this was discussed as far as I know, but wasn’t there talk about making Internet service into a utility and be regulated like the power and water companies? There should be a flat fee and that’s it. None of this tiered or capped bullshit. It’s alllllllll pure insatiable greed.

a few cents per month per megabit/sec (the speed of the plan) is what their ‘cost’ is to provide the pipe to a subscriber.
No its not because its paid for by the government in most expansion cases. They get to lay pipe for free and charge us for the service.
