Internet Service - Affordable High-Speed Internet | CenturyLink

The fine print says speeds up to 100 mbps. In the northern parts of The Villages, the $49 price gets you a speed up to 20 mbps. They claim they can increase that to 40 mbps, but only if you pay them $100 to have a technician come out. That is discriminatory, and should be investigated. It is too bad that internet service is not treated as a public utility like electric and gas service, which oversees the quality and pricing of these utilities. Isn't internet service the twenty-first century equivalent of those other twentieth century utlities?
