Good. Across much of the US, Comcast is the only realistic option many households have. Where this is true, they offer slow speeds at high prices. And they have successfully lobbied in many states to make grassroots municipal broadband illegal.

Didn't the GOP Congress in the last quarter of 2024 cancelled forcing Comcast from offering a lower prices for the poor ?
I know one person who cancelled their cable service due to that and went 100% streaming. They kept internet because Comcast is the only option, but they bill went down by 60% due to that.

Ah yes, they’re definitely losing customers to mobile plans and not that certain satellite ISP that’s available nationwide and in some cases even cheaper.
Wouldn’t want to mention it though, someone might get the idea you’re saying something positive about the CEO!
