Technological advances make it possible. So does profiteering. Do you really think 160KB/s download speed is worth $40 a month in 2011? I mean come on, that's just pathetic. For how much they're charging, they have a huge profit margin. If people like Comcast really wanted a monopoly, then they're invest in more fiber lines, and increase the speed while keeping costs and prices the same. Imagine if Comcast offered let's say 50Mb/s for $40, while other companies offer at most 10Mb/s for that much. Who wouldn't go with Comcast? They wouldn't even have to kill Net Neutrality that way.



I had one of those this morning. Shaved it off but kept the chin. lol



Yeah, but I'm tired of waiting. My internet speed hasn't changed at all since 2006, yet the price hasn't gone down until recently. Do you see something wrong with that? I do.


Dude, monopolies are illegal in America.

That's what capitalism is all about. They all don't want any competition. They want to be the only one doing what they're doing.
