I currently live in an area where Spectrum is the only "broadband" provider. I pay $75 for 200/10. My town finally said enough is enough and is now in the process of rolling out municipal owned internet.

You can see the details for that here: http://dryden.ny.us/information/dryden-municipal-broadband-s...

It's unfortunate that many states have passed legislation to block municipal internet. Corporations such as Spectrum, Comcast, etc. should not have that sort of lobbying power, but yet, here we are.
