25 years ago, i had cable with all the 'premiums', and internet.. for less than what that same company gets just for the slowest 'available' internet (only) today. despite the cost to deliver bits to the home being lower now. yes. it's faster today but the speed i had before was enough to watch a stream in realtime. it'd still be enough to watch an hd stream today (and then by extension, 'fast enough' for anything else i care to do at home). i never asked for faster, i wanted to keep the 'cheaper' but that's not an option. they want their 90 percent pure profit. the shareholders demand it.
