Make cable internet a utility.
That's all you gotta do. Will solve 1000 problems and create 0, unless you're Comcast.
Disagree. Utilities are also a shitshow and have defrauded the consumer.
I’d prefer that a baseline level of internet service be defined (100mbps symmetrical max, 100ms latency or lower ) and allow local governments and communities to provide that level of service to their constituents. If a company wants to compete above those baselines, let them.
I’d also let the baselines be re-negotiated annually.
Companies are also a shitshow who defrauds consumers. Especially ISPs. I don't see how this is remotely an argument.
Like it isn't even an argument. ISPs rank highest among the worst companies in the country.
