just so you know: people in Utah are getting gigabit broadband for as little as $45 a month thanks to an open access fiber network owned an operated by a collaborative coalition of local governments

Wow, that's crazy, I get 1Gbit for 21,63$ in Spain

yeah we're a corrupt mess. gigabit is very spotty here. In markets with no competition it's usually $100-$150. In places where community broadband appears it mysteriously drops to around $70.

Oh shit, its sad to hear that, something that essential as Internet shouldn’t be this expensive, but here we got this low prices because there is a lot of competition.

Spain also benefits from a much high population density, which makes the marginal cost of new end points significantly smaller.
