Wow, internet is expensive where you are. I pay £28 (about $35) a month for 1gig up/down in the UK.

internet in the states and canada can be so expensive :( i’m lucky that my provider has a program for ppl on disability where we pay $10-$20 CAD/mo. I can’t remember the exact amount, nor what up/down we get right now, but it’s pretty decent!

It's more expensive in remote areas and areas without competition.

Capitalists hate competition, and ISPs have it down to a science.
