When there are competitive spirits at work, prices magically drop. I pay Spectrum $69 for 100/5 service in my city, which has no other options. My brother pays $45 for 300/30 service 4 miles away in a suburb where Verizon has chosen to compete as there are fewer poor people.

Right now there's a 5G land-grab going on, with hundreds of millimeter-band 5G poles being dumped everywhere. I assume that's for a wireless fixed ISP service, as it doesn't add value for normal mobile service.
