I moved away from Verizon after a dozen years for my cell service because T-Mobile had a much better price AND gave me a lot more for my money.

I switched from Cox Cable to Century Link last year because for slightly less money I can get 1 Gig up and down speed on Century Link's fiber optic...Cox couldn't compete with that.

I'm asking this very seriously. I don't really give a shit about anybody's political views.
Brad explains it better than me, these companies are not on consumer or businesses side and there are not many options in some markets. Even here in Marina Del Rey - in Los Angeles I have only 1 option for internet service- Spectrum. There are NO other providers, if they decided to start charging me $500 for 100MBPS or more to access Pornhub or Chaturbate-- who am I to stop them>? The government won't now.
