    Agreed. I don’t understand why internet access gets treated as some sort of luxury when it is impossible to function as part of society without it.

      Probably because if we admit that it’s a necessity of the modern age like power and water, it would basically need to be metered like a utility, and there goes all the profits with flat rate “up to” speed pricing that most people don’t even remotely use.
