Harmful 5G Fast Lanes Are Coming; the FCC Needs to Stop Them

In France, I pay monthly 27.48€ (~$29) for 1Gbps down and 500Mbps up (in theory, in practice, it's more like 500~600Mbps down, 250~300Mbps up). This includes a TV option for 2€ (without it, it's 25.48€).

My provider is SFR (the only one giving access to optical fiber in the small village where I live).

EDIT: I'm talking about home internet. For mobile internet, I pay 19.99€/month for unlimited access (5G), but I haven't done a speedtest.

For comparison, I live in Washington State 50km away from Seattle, and I get 1200 Mbps down and 200 Mbps up (in practice more like 900/100) for $115/month. This is just pure Internet, no TV or anything else.

The ISP that I currently use - Comcast Xfinity - is also the only cable provider in this area. I can get some mobile and satellite options, but they are all more expensive for lower speed and higher latency.
