I don't exactly hate gas stations, though I do thoroughly hate gas companies continuing to pollute the planet and have the gall gouge us for it โ€” no, I hate ISPs for taking a utility close to power, monopolize the entire industry, building regional cartels and deliver absolutely shite service. It's 2023 and there are still areas in the US that have less than 1Mbps symmetrical. That should be illegal.
