In my native country gigabit fiber internet is less than $9/mo. Broadband prices in the US are absolutely ridiculous.
Good God I pay 90 a month for 1 gig fiber. What county are you in?
I pay $500, lol

Sorry, it's so hard to believe, you have to explain how.
I live very rural and my only other option was 500kbps on a good day internet which doesn't work for my software engineering job. So I ended up having to make tons of calls and beg and plead and I finally found a fiber provider who would trench a line directly to my house for me.
Problem is...I'm paying for it for 10 years now.
But it was worth it.
