Absolutely ridiculous that it took this long for them to tell us what they are selling.
GIGA huge MASSIVE!!! (30MBPS)
And the tiny text that reads “*30mpbs downlink speed, 5mpbs uplink speed. Studies from the 90s have shown morons like you don’t need useful upload speeds lmao”
Most states already regulate this, but it’s nice to see the federal entity functioning like it’s supposed to.
I mean this is nice and all but for it to matter I would need to have options available.
My power company installed fiber on the power lines and started their own ISP. So my co-op is my ISP. Kinda nice
You should call yours and find out if they have any plans for it.
Comcast raised my rate my 30% a few weeks ago and I went on a rage filled search for a replacement. The only other providers are either barely usable or starlink.
Call up, say you want to cancel, because you found a deal with another internet provider for whatever low price you paying originally. After they confirm you’re “sure you want to leave” they’ll offer you the reduced rate in return for you staying on with them. I’ve done it a couple times now, cuts my internet bill in half for like a year
That used to work. Tried that with Comcast a few months ago; they refused to match AT&T’s price for the same speeds. So I’m with AT&T now.
So we get to clearly see how shitty our only ISP option is.
This is some bullshit if this is in compliance. I had to enter my address for the quote, still doesn’t show what the fucking taxes are, or real price.
Edit: Not in compliance “The labels must include any additional monthly charges, one-time fees, early termination fees, and taxes.” filed fcc complaint. Fuck Comcast.
I’m guessing they have until the end of the day to be in compliance and they will wait until the very last second.

Data caps in 2024… first world country… allegedly.
What country? Anyway, good, good.
EDIT: ah, USA. Fix your ISPs already.
well this is a step towards that
