    The fact that this is even legal shows how incredibly weak the regulations are. They are essentially non-existent, with the consumer ripe for maximum exploitation. Just forcing people to buy is legal at this point huh?

    Incidentally, Spectrum is my only choice thanks to an exclusivity agreement, but we aren’t forced to pay. We can actually opt out at our location. 5G home internet is way more reliable and faster in my area.

    Regulate! All businesses are self-interested!

      Sounds like cable is just in its natural death throes and will be gone soon. Markets will take care of this too, if we just let them: i.e. don’t let cable companies lobby against 5G etc.

      They’ll still have some role since 5G practically requires fiber optics as its backbone anyway.
