do you pay google $60 - $200 a month?
First off, I hope you aren't paying $200/mo for a personal connection.

Second, if you think the service is not worth the cost, set up your own ISP. Simple as that.

Otherwise, if it bothers you, use Tor.

With all of the monopolistic regulations the telecom industry has pushed through on the local level? Yeah that is realistic.

First off, who the frick are you to say that?

Seriously, it's no longer absurd for a household to get services with those speeds depending on the individual needs, as fringe as those needs might be.

What if the person lives in a household with 5+ tech savvy members and works from home with requires moving lots of data around.

Straw man.

It's not saying ISPs aren't worth the cost. It's saying they are fairly compensated without the cash cow they are trying to crack.

How'd you feel if you started receiving spam in the mail based on browser history? What if your young child saw excpicit mail for strip clubs because her older brother wasn't careful when getting his porn fix?
