So your ISP charges about $22 for each Mbps.

Our ISP charges $90.12 for 50 Mbps (that includes all taxes and a laundry list of fees.) That works out to about $1.80 for each Mbps. It also includes phone service, but no TV.

Your ISP charges about 12 times more.

Rural areas are getting screwed by not having fiber.
