I'm forced to pay for Spectrum cable internet, and I'm not the only one.

    i think sometimes… in certain outskirt or rural areas there may be cases when a slow and steady provider (verizon/visible) may be considered a safer option for some.

      Safer? It’s like half the monthly price, has a ping/latency of around 50, and speeds over 250 mbps with almost no downtime. It’s just been a good option.

        in rural areas? in all rural areas??
        some people have suggested that verizon has more coverage in rural areas but less speed overall.
        there are a few exceptions for both providers.
