    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.

      Do you have a source on utilities defrauding consumers? I don’t doubt it I’m just not aware of it.
