It’s especially more cost effective than rural wireless ISPs. Those places are straight crooks.

Yeah the alternative is $200 a month for 2mbps with a 20GB data cap. You can’t even stream video with this service.

Yeah my parents had dish or wisp before. I’m thankful for “skynet” as my dad calls it, so much faster for less money
