Good, this will help lots of working class Americans… who thought man there are too many options for internet services in my apartment complex, and were looking for ways to cut competition and raise prices. #fcc #internetproviders #consumerchoice

Yes 100% It doesn't surprise me that the costs have gone up... what has surprised me is the reduction in content offered up for viewing across various streaming platforms.

There were better shows on Netflix when it cost $10 a month
