  Subsidy

  on Court Tells FCC It Has No Mandate To Enforce Net Neutrality (And That's A Good Thing)
  "We rent the space in the R.O.W. from the electric company; ask them for that money, if you think it's important."
  
  If you had to pay what it's really worth you'd be out of business in a blink.
  
  ====================
  
  So the electric companies are subsidizing the cable companies?

  Comcast

  on Court Tells FCC It Has No Mandate To Enforce Net Neutrality (And That's A Good Thing)
  I get 15 Mbs from Comcast for $20/month - $1.33/Mbs. And $.08/GB (if I used all available).
  
  That doesn't seem too far out of line given the generally larger distances and lower average density of the USA.

  Comcast (as M. Simon)

  on Court Tells FCC It Has No Mandate To Enforce Net Neutrality (And That's A Good Thing)
  Comcast gives you 250 GB/month in its plan and you can track how much of that you use.
  
  It is significantly more than most providers. And I recently got a free upgrade from 10 Mbs to 15 Mbs.
  
  Actual speeds vary according to time of day (traffic load). I'm pretty satisfied with the service. And they throw in up to 5 free copies of Norton anti-virus.
  
  I'm satisfied.
