    That’s literally the exact same amount I’m paying Comcast in suburbia. The speed it a little bit better most of the time but it’s not like I can make full use of it.

    If you think that price is insane, go check out the price for legacy satellite internet and the speeds/data cap they provide for it.

        I absolutely think that price is insane, and I’m laughing at people who willingly pay for that!

        And that’s why someone invented the phrase, “ignorance is bliss.”
