Ripe FCC Data: Our Broadband Is Still Pretty Slow > Iowa

said by Alcohol:

I emailed cablevision the other day asking if they're ever going to expand into my area because i'm tired of comcast and their crappy service which is capped to 250gb.

Cablevision replied: Thank you for your email and wanting to have Cablevision as your service provider but, all service areas are under rights of each provider. If Comcast owns the right to sell service in your town, we would not be able to.

This is the biggest problem in US that's holding us back. Exclusive broadband rights that give the company a total monopoly.
