    well,
    haven't posted a blog post in a while and i think today is a good day for one, tomorrow will know if i can physically get to Bronycon or now.

    long story short took my time getting a visa for USA and got rejected last month, decided to throw a hail marry and reapplied for another visa appointment that i have tomorrow, and then i will know if i get to visit the last BC.

uh you know it has to go through congress and supreme court

a whole 25kb/s* to a max of 50mb** a month for the low price of $98.99***

*speed may vary. [ISP] assume no responsibility to provide consistent speed
**mandatory commertial will be deducted from said limit
***additional fees may apply. [ISP] are not required to inform of such fees applying

4749722 it does but with how it is these days in USA... i believe anything can happen
still interesting to compare prices with USA, i know i pay close to nothing for my cellphone compare to USA just because i have been there, but interested in internet price right now

4749725
but most congressman or congresswomen don't like it also it did break multiple laws some states are suing the fcc

Some folks in places like NY are paying 300 dollars a month already, but this has been a problem for years.

I pay $90 a month for the higher end connections.

Too damned high.

I pay $45 a month for the at&t phone plan. Gives me both internet and a phone, but I only get 2gb of high speed a month. After that, it slows to a crawl.

Prices in Australia can vary wildly depending on how reliable or large the business is.

For home internet (fiber optic cable, the NBN) I pay a little over $100 AUD per month @ 100mbit down / 40mbit up, 1 TB cap per month, speed limited after that ....then I pay over $100 for my mobile phone plan per month for 10GB on 4G, unlimited calls & SMS inside Australia.

Pay $100 for unlimited, and 83 mbps

for some perspective, me in israel
as basic line, i use minimum hourly wage to change into hours you need to spend
israel minimum (in 2018) 28.49 ILS ~ 8.11USD
cellphone: 100GB + unlimited calls and sms = 45nis ~ 12.8$ ~ 1.6 hours
internet: 200/5mb unlimited cap = ~100nis ~28.5$ ~ 3.5 hours

I'm not from the US, but I pay $42 for 30/3 mbps
