New address and the few internet options are all highway robbery.
@GetSpectrum wants to charge an extra $15 if you want wifi. Whut? @ATT marketing a slug-slow $50-a-month copper line. "For elderly people on email, maybe?" technician said sheepishly. Tell me your horror stories!

Yep, there was a whole set of other hidden charges, weird language there. Also, still can't get over
@ATT charging an enormous fee for very slow internet, basically for "elderly people on email". US is so behind and predatory on broadband it's nuts. https://twitter.com/TonySoaprhino/status/1022853347576111106 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this threadThanks.

My next door neighbor and I were just talking about this. He calculated he’s spent *over $1k* to rent a modem from Comcast. Meanwhile, being technical, I’ve spent ~$100 to own my 2 cable modems. The first lasted me over 10 years until Comcast stopped supporting its protocol.

Even if you have your own router, if you have a family full of people who can't/won't tolerate a little disruption, it can be a pain to keep it up to date, it's not something I do every day so I have to assume I'll make a mistake.

My great-grandmother paid a monthly fee to rent her rotary phone from Pacific Bell for *50* years. When we told PacBell to come get their phone, they told us we could keep it.

It's worse than that. At least for the router functionality (not sure about the WiFi), it isn't even any extra hardware—their standard cable modem has the functionality built in. They just configure it differently.

I was looking to chase that down! Hard to believe they have two types of modems.
