Here in Seattle I have two options: Centurylink or Comcast. I would happily purchase a plan from a smaller company, but due to the duopoly we have here, I have no other choice.
There's also astound (formally wave) offering gigabit+ in Seattle.
Thanks! I'll check them out. I've tried Ziply several times, but my specific location has some unique challenges getting a provider in.
Same. When I moved, we had the option for Ziply 9ver Comcast and finally was able to shake them.
Internet should be a public utility and owned by the local government.
Plenty of smaller ISPs are WISPs, wireless ISPs. Great for rural too, you just need line-of-sight. Look up if any serve your area
You could cut the cable altogether and just go full mobile. That's what I do, and I'm happy to see an extra $600 in my bank account at the end of the year.
I use Visible for only $25/month. Unlimited data, great coverage, and they even sent me a free 5G phone when I refused to upgrade.
Couldn't be happier.
