I am pretty sure its on top of the phone and television line, they tried to scam me by giving me a Tablet for "free" and then I found out that they charged me about 260$ for it, then I asked to give it back and the price of the phone and television line dropped by a lot.

I believe among the first tier countries, the US have the worst Internet service in terms of speed, service, and pricing.

I pay about $48 for 10m/s just for Internet access alone. Maybe I am wrong, but from what I read of other countries, many of them have better Internet access than the US in general. This is, going back to my post 3, when the Internet came about, the basic infrastructure for it was very much in a monopoly for the telephone companies. The details are complex and too extensive to explain. Suffice to say that the American consumers got screwed by the telcos.

Let me put it this way...

This is like the government saying you have to rent out your car as a taxi whenever you are in the roads and you have a spare seat. Or if you have an unused bedroom in your house, you have to rent it to a boarder. My explanation is simplified, but you get the point.

In principle, it is not morally right. My property, I use it as I see fit. Americans in general do have a hard time with the government telling them what to do with their properties, so this argument successfully passed Congress where eventually the telcos are allowed monopoly. The result is shitty Internet service compares to the other first tier countries. Now it looks like we have shitty Internet service compares to 2nd tier countries as well.

You got ripped, dawg. Comcast?
I'm in Canada and I'm paying $24/month for 35 Mbps. Of course, I didn't get that deal straight off the bat. But that deal is only good for 6 months. I'm going to change my account and name to get the similar deal when its expired.
