In the US, yes. It’s stupid expensive because we gave the telecoms a lot of money to upgrade the infrastructure and they didn’t, so we gave them a bunch more but they still didn’t. So now we pay off our debt to telecoms by paying too much for internet. Freedom.
Wasn’t even optional at my last place, just added on as a fee so they could say rent was lower, base rent was like $800, ended up costing more like $1100 after non optional fees.
WTF $70 for internet? Is it that normal?
I pay 21€ for mine.

European internet is heavily subsidized by the state
Nice joke
Canadian Internet is not.
180 per month :(
Canada’s problem is not a lack of subsidy. It’s the state’s tolerance for oligopoly.

Are you rural? We get it for $80 a month. 2gb/s from Rogers. Technically rural as well but just on the outskirts of a city.
