The funniest (or saddest?) part of all this is that $15 is considered “low”. It’s still pretty high for something so vital (and tbf I’d much rather see a requirement for like 5-10 Mbps at $5 or so; you don’t need much bandwidth for meaningful, very useful service).
I not disagreeing but $15 would still put it at one of the cheapest if not the cheapest vital service. I’m not sure you could get any other utility for much lower than that.

It’s crazy how many people equate Mbps latency. Broadband companies spread this lie that faster is better.
You can game lag free and have VoIP calls with zero interruption on 5Mbps.
Only thing more Mbps helps with is downloading larger files faster.
Yeah on like… 2-4 devices total lol.
What if I want to play MariokartDS online with 8 of my friends on the same connection?
My WEP router advertises 11 Mbps WiFi, I want to use the whole thing.

Making the connection slower doesn’t magically make it cheaper.
Lol Internet Essentials is $10 for 50Mbps (if you qualify, that is)

1 Mbit/s should be free.
