    Worrying about the price of cable is the most boomer shit I’ve ever heard of.

      Cable companies having a monopoly on internet in most areas affect almost everyone and should be dealt with though (it won’t be though).

        At my address, my choices for high speed Internet are Comcast or Go Fuck Yourself.

          Go Fuck Yourself seems like the best option

            $150 for “gigabit” which in practice means I usually get around 450mb.

        Yeah, just pay $20 a month across 16 different streaming services that all have siloed content! It’s so much better now! /s

          We figured this out by pirating shit.

            Amen. It’s like piracy is the only governing force in capitalism anymore since there seems to be no regulation otherwise. The old cable monopoly is just now the multi-threaded streaming monopoly.
