Treczoks,

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.

buzz86us,

🤣🤣😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣 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.

ilinamorato,

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.

xyguy,

Good thing broadband providers have such a stellar track record of nothing but honorable and consumer-benefiting behavior. I see no reason that we can’t just trust that they have our best interests at heart.

According to Marx, the capitalist will always dismiss all other concerns than their own gain, and will lie and murder for their ill-gotten gains.

The 21st century teems of examples

This week’s Behind the Bastards (about the capture of Christianity by capitalism) tells about the _exact same thing in the 1930s and 1940s (parallel with the rise of fascism). The same give us all the money push was happening tgen as now, only now the campaign is bigger.

Fuck these guys. They’re no better than nineteenth century railroad tycoons

Yeah, same podcast made the point in their episodes about the Hawk’s Nest Tunnel Project, and how it was recent history even though it sounds like some medieval horror story. These fucks haven’t changed, and the same company that profited off that brutality is still around and still making money hand over fist and never reckoned with their crimes.

lunarul,

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

Otkaz,

Good God I pay 90 a month for 1 gig fiber. What county are you in?

lunarul,

That’s Romania. But I live in the US now.

AirlineF0od,

I pay 99.95 a month for 50 megs gotta love the local phone cmpny

ichbinjasokreativ,

I pay 40€ a month for 250 MBit in Germany :(

Sorry, it’s so hard to believe, you have to explain how.

IHadTwoCows,

Fun fact: other contries actually regulate commerce. They get better service cheaper.

CurlyMoustache,
@CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world avatar

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

themurphy,

46€ for the same here.

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

Huschke,

49€ here, but yeah about 1/10 of the price of some US states is insane.

Valmond,

30€/m for 2x2.5Gb

burliman,

I pay $110 for 2000/2000 fiber. In the US.

Rememo,

Make internet access a utility and be done with it.

@QuarterSwede@lemmy.world avatar

Seriously. Why is this taking so long!? It’s painfully obvious!

SupraMario,

Because the ISPs don’t want to have to do what we made them do for phone lines. Even though the trillion dollars we have given them over the last 30 years should have come with that stipulation…but they took that money and bought our politicians with it.

jmd_akbar,

Yup. Totally not a suspicious thing to say…

Internet providers say the FCC should not investigate broadband prices

And that’s exactly why broadband prices should be investigated.

TryingToEscapeTarkov,

Yeah they should do it even harder and faster now. Now I’m horny.

How to tell you are running a cartel, step #1:

foggy,

The cartel says the CIA shouldnt investigate cocaine prices.

Unlocalhost,

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

jarfil,

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.
