The only ISP in my area is comcast and they charge me about 90 dollars a month for metered 20 MB/s down.
If you call them for anything they try to put extra things on your account and if you flat out tell them no, they will ignore you and continue saying that they’re going to add the thing until you threaten them or start yelling over the phone it’s fucking insane.
Things like TV service or a phone line or something, to be specific. The two times I’ve called, i’ve been told about hot new deals with included TV service that will be free for a month and start costing money the next. I told them no, and they go “Oh it’s free, I’m just going to add it and you can cancel it before.” Told them no, just to be told how it’s free (it isn’t) and had to get fucking mad over it. They’re so fucking awful but I’ve got no other options
It is… I lived in Korea in 2014 and my cellphone internet was cheaper and felt like it was the same speed as my landlines back home. I tethered my Xbox through my phone and played through it all the time. My cellphone bill was like, 40 bucks for unlimited internet and my phone came with two batteries and had a tv antennae built into it. GOLDEN YEARS, I SAY!

Wow. That’s super super annoying. And probably illegal.
The broadband service in the USA is a joke.
