We could do even better. Just make it one big all-in-one subscription service. Everyone gets a monthly consumer basket of goods and services based on averages for their income level. Paychecks go straight to the provider. No more fuss.

We'd save a ton on bandwidth by going back to cable. If someone gets a promotion and raise, no sweat, just scale up their subscription to fit their income. With the freedom to choose between three providers, you can trust that the free market competition is still happening in the background and keeping your basket as full as possible for your income level.

Choose from Red's Old-Fashioned Country Provider, Blue Futura Provider, or Green Mother Earth Provider.

Three providers?

You must live in a big blue market. We get two and both are the same price with one being faster but missing half the features the other has.

Unless you count Star link.

No one should count Star link.

Yeah, that's more the reality. There are two major ISPs here, pretty much fiber or coax. There's still DSL, but most people don't have more than one twisted pair connection to the home, which makes it impractical with either having to install another for more than it's worth or else suffer abysmal bandwidth. The cellular ISPs aren't too bad, though. We got better bandwidth for the price than our previous coax ISP. I'd love to have fiber, but it's twice the price for 10 times our current bandwidth. I don't even know what I would do with that much.
