Back in reality the huge ISP's provide network services at a huge premium and make a very substantial profit. If we cared about providing affordable service to low income families we would let municipalities sell access to existing fiber networks not trying to prop up an industry providing bad service at monopoly prices.

Your numbers are like historical fiction based on reality but not an accurate portrayal. Do you work for verizon or comcast?

Right, and Netflix and Youtube are charities, give me a break with that argument.

since you INSISTED, I have no personal interest in any ISP

If you're going to refute my numbers please provide your own.

Source your numbers. Most specifically that netflix which can provide the entirety of its service for 10 per subscriber actually costs providers $20 per subscriber.
