So I currently only have internet. Of course I keep getting the annual rate raise since they pretty much have a monopoly. The only other option I have is Frontier DSL. The price difference is minimal. Less than $10. And speeds would be slower with Frontier. And I see that Frontier just had to settle a class action suit due to their speeds not being what was advertised. And I have a friend who has Frontier since they are his only option and he hasn't had the best luck. Slow speeds and frequent loss of service. I need internet for my job as I have to handle on call issues. Plus I live quite a bit away from work. Before people say to move closer we are looking to do just that but cost wise it makes sense right now. And honestly even if I was close who wants to drive/bike/walk to work at 3am if they could fix things remotely from the comfort of their home (and not even have to get dressed), especially in the winter?
So is it even worth doing anything or do I just accept the local monopoly until such time as we can move?
