You might be surprised how many places have public broadband. I think they are usually the result of poor private offers.

Compared to sewers, drinking water, electricity and roads it seems a rather simple and cheap thing to build.

My commercial isp offers all kinds of packages clearly designed to extract as much money as possible. I cant even see the prices as everything is hidden behind x months discount. From what i remember 200 mbit is 42 and 2000 is 60 but a phone line and tv become available only if you take the faster package and required with the fastest speeds.

So its like one banana for $1 and 10 bananas for $1.50 If you buy just one you cant buy milk, if you buy 10 you also have to buy milk.

Its also been sold 6 times. Unsurprisingly, each time the service and quality noticably declines and the prices go up.

I see their adds everywhere and they sponsor all kinds of things. It suggests the product is overpriced and doesnt sell it self.
