1 year agoNot true everywhere.
Here in Australia, while speeda are not amazing (gigabit is kind of the max for now) we have no contracts, no data caps, hundreds of ISPs and some even allow people to pay per day.
I can change ISP tomorrow and the switch over will take 10 minutes, because the physical network is common to all of them.
It’s sort of sad to see how americans have only the freedom to get their kids shot and ass fucked by corporations.
I am on FTTP and pay 99 for 500/50 and never seen a slowdown. It will take a while to get everyone off the old copper network, I know :(
