Yeah, tell me about it. I unfortunately live in a place where Comcast is the only “high speed” internet provider available. Nowadays “high speed” doesn’t mean what it did in 2005. It just means, useable internet in 2022. I work from home. Like most people my family streams our entertainment, etc. My other options are literally fucking DSL (there’s 2005 again) or satellite at a fraction of the speed for the same price. It’s a racket and I hate it.

I know this is r/Boston. I don’t live in the metro area or even the east side of the state anymore but we are all victims of this to some degree. Affordable and “high speed” internet access is as much a necessity today as all utilities. It’s not a luxury. Municipalities need to take note, especially if they want to attract residents.
