About damn time.
For the last decade I’ve paid for high speed
fibercable from Comcast, and that monthly 1tb limit was a killer with a family. So I paid the extra $50 (for a few years, then $30 these last 2) for unlimited. All for a total low package price of $250. My buddy in a nearby town with better speeds and multiple options has never paid for this add on, because he has competition in the area. I had zero choice, there were zero network improvements in my area until this year when a new local fiber company started burying fiber in my area. Today I pay $100 for 2gb symmetrical unlimited internet, way cheaper than the $250 I’ve paid for years for a forced tv/phone/internet package.I hope there’s a class action for this. Fuck Comcast.
there’s enough ways around charges of ‘discriminating’ based on the disallowed criteria of household income or race, that it will still be ‘business as usual’ for providers. they’ll use other excuses, such as differences in local market (competition) and population/customer density, or the ‘extreme’ costs of upgrading aging infrastructure in previously-“avoided” areas, which would be ‘allowed’.
