I used to hop on the local Weatherspoon bars free wifi - using an Alfa flat panel Aerial that can pick up for half a mile.
But i bit the bullet and got my own in the end.

Around $40/month. It’s 100Mbps plan.
My understanding is that you guys in the states get fleeced by ISPs and mobile networks/carriers because there is virtually no competition.
That’s pretty much how it is. Though there’s more competition with mobile phones than cable providers.
Someone I was listening to yesterday was saying they pay like $100 a month for their phones because their carrier barely offers anything under that. I was like WTF. I pay £10 to my mobile network and bought the phone separately for £400. Obviously wont be as powerful/modern phone but functionally it cant be that different.
My phone is just a hand me down from my husband. Still works fine. Our combined bill for 4 phones is a bit over $100. But our carrier has plans for $15.

Okay. Maybe this person wasn’t speaking truthfully or was exaggerating. $100 for one month would be insane. I couldnt do more than $30 a month regardless of income. It just feels like a rip
Oh, no. They were being truthful. Some carriers do have crazy bills. Verizon is one.
