Maybe that is. But Comcast being the only carrier allowed on the cable is not. It is a monopoly by region, and oligopoly for the country split between 3 providers. I get that some investors paid to lay the cables, but at what point do we consider that debt and interest paid? Do any of the original investors remain? We broke up Ma Bell, it may be time to “break up” the cable monopoly, which doesn’t mean shut them down but simply means to allow all comers the right to deliver services over the cable. That is capitalism and competition.
I think a lot depends on location.
I can get Brighthouse, U-Verse, telco DSL, or satellite internet at my suburban Indiana location.
I use the competitive quotes to batter down the price at renewal time.
