I'm down with that very last sentiment. Not for the reasons he expresses though!

you know, i hadn't really thought much about it, but on the face of it? that might not be such a bad idea, except for the ridiculous pricing structures and utility companies *always* allowed to raise prices beyond what regulations set because fines are cheaper than the profit made.
@Old_Dave
ouch! absolutely -zero- options for you then...
it's not supposed to be that way! Australia's been upgrading all their internet across the country so that *everyone* can get access. ofc, it's behind schedule, but where it's already implemented is working WELL so far!

I live nowhere-adjacent.
Can't even get cable TV, but I'm midway between Ithaca (cornell fer chissakes) and cortland.
