    It’s much the same in the States. I pay $70 a month for 500 Mbps. I live in a suburb connected to Oklahoma’s capitol city. My brother lives in the sticks with no interstate highways within a one hour’s drive. He pays $120 a month for 40 Mbps. This development comes in the wake of dropping his old ISP that provided plans up to 25 Mbps for the same price and required you to sign up for a landline to receive internet services. We grew up there, and when we were kids in 2009, our parents had 256 kbps service. And that was the most they could get. The place is also a dead zone for cell service unless you have Verizon.
