Non-EU Europe, same issue. Only one company has cables in my building.

On the bright side, they're the fastest ISP in the country. On the bad side, they don't offer just the Internet, so I have to pay for cable + Internet, even though I don't use cable TV at all (not plugged into my TV at all).

My point is that the rest of the world also has greedy companies. Yet, some parts of that world manage to build infrastructure just fine.

The US also used to be able to build infrastructure. People weren't any less greedy back then. Other things changed. Things that are very important to look into.

that's more on your leasing company sadly...they get bundle discounts for referrals, but you still get screwed
