You have data caps on your broadband connections in the US? Does your phones have rotary dials too?

$190 bucks a month for a limitless connection is insane. I'm too cheap to pay 30€ a month for unlimited fibre connection so I use 4G router which gives me around 40Mbps unlimited connection and it costs me 10€ a month.

It is insane. Even worse is we (taxpayers) gave them money to improve infrastructure and they put it in their pockets instead.

And also you know we INVENTED THE INTERNET AND PAID FOR THEIR CABLES.

What the fuck do they even do? Sell data? Like this should just be a section of the government but everyone is obsessed with the private sector holding shit

Yes yes because any time the government does something to help individuals instead of business it's SoCiALiSm.
