If you have 100mbps of non bandwidth capped internet in America, you're doing damn good for yourself.

But what if it costs $95/mo, there are no alternatives and the price has nearly doubled in 10 years from $55?

I sure don't feel that great.

I pay the equivalent of $64 for 1 gigabit.

American internet isn’t all crap. I pay about $70 for Gigabit.

You can get business gigabit for $90 a month where I live.

Funny thing is that is the rural option, in town I have to go with Comcast and pay $160 a month for half a gigabit
