Yup, they've got a monopoly on the area because they lobby to keep their infrastructure the only option to use around here. It doesn't matter that they're terrible because there's no other option.

Companies like T-Mobile get around that by using hotspots and cell towers but that's only gonna work if there's land available to compete with!

Could be worse if that merger with AT&T,Comcast and Time Warner took place.
