As an example, the options where I am right now (thankfully temporary) are:
- $55/mo. 3 Mbps DSL
- $80/mo. 300 Mbps cable (or even more expensive, faster cable)
- $120/mo. 100+ Mbps (if you're lucky) Starlink
- A few other heavily restricted, very expensive satellite options (e.g. HughesNet), to which the aforementioned fleet of ill-trained carrier pigeons might be preferable
Only one of those is practical and (mostly) reliable for anything remotely approaching something like remote work.
Back home it's such a luxury to be able to choose DSL, cable, or fiber. I can only dream that all markets will have an actual choice between Internet service providers someday.
