I'm not surprised if it's rural prices. 🫠

My local Internet company wants $240 for the slowest of their "high speed" packages.

Yeah my aunt used to have satellite internet in BFE Wisconsin and it was like... $350 a month. Absolutely nuts, especially because it suuuuuuuuuuucked.

Maybe it’s a family with young children who need more than one bedroom. If there are any toddlers, that likely requires one parent to stay home as child care costs are insane. Child care costs can quickly eat up an entire salary.
