> It's hard to care about the policy details of broadband providers. My internet from Time Warner is pretty cheap, it almost never breaks, and it's plenty fast enough for Netflix to work. Why should I care much beyond that?

"I have healthcare. Why do I care about those who don't?"

That was the "it's pretty cheap" part. The cheapest service is 15 bucks a month. I don't see affordability as a huge problem.

Does Time Warner have a monopoly in your area? What service do you get for $15/month?

[harryh → toomuchtodo]

Honestly I don't know. Goes back to that point about not caring.

$15/mo gets you 3MBPS. $30/mo gets you 10. $35/mo gets you 50.

Actually, a pretty large portion of our country (US), in fact, do not give a crud about healthcare beyond the notion that they, themselves, have it. People are incredibly selfish. Welcome to Earth. :)

Just because America is so terribly broken doesn't mean it can't be fixed.
