Do they price it at what they think you can afford? Services to businesses can cost more than to homes. I think I have 1gb at home now, but it's more than I really need.
I remember when we got a terminal at school that used an acoustic coupler to the local college computer. Only one person could use it at a time. How things have changed over 40 years.

Indeed they have changed. I think the excessive cost in this case can be chalked up to the several miles of fiber optic cable and the fact that they would have to underground bore most of it.
That will be expensive. The physical infrastructure is part of it, but I wonder what it really costs them once that is done. They keep putting my broadband price up, but I managed to negotiate it down a bit this time. I feel I've paid them a lot over many years.
That's nice, we used to be able to negotiate, but they don't have any of it anymore. It just is what it is and if you don't like it you can leave. Problem is, they offer the fastest speeds and the most uptime.
