    Here in the UK, I can get 1GB up/down for about £30 ($38, or ₴1,434.60).

      In the US you’re lucky to get those speeds and you’re lucky to spend less than $100 for it while also having a data cap of like 10TB/month.

      Our government gave cable companies tax cuts and shit to encourage them to provide internet and most of the just bought out their competitors and formed pseudo monopolies.

        This is disgusting :( I am greatful that consumer markets in Ukraine, despite the corruption, have always been ~80% open for natural evolution.

          The US is a pile of companies in a trench coat masquerading as a democracy. It’s why the average American is 38 years old while the average senator is 65 and the average House Rep is 58. Why something like 70% of Americans support universal healthcare but it never goes anywhere in Congress. Why we have infrastructure that is falling apart but the military gets a constantly increasing budget. Why we have a life expectancy lower than Cuba now with a literacy rate below most developed countries and an average hours worked above the Japanese.
