I'm also very surprised. How can  ISP services be cheaper in EU then in USA ?!?!?  Everything is cheaper in USA .

OK, it was before "that creature" in WH. 😟

[Like Ra]

Internet is supposed to be made in US, not in CN, so nothing wrong with the WH 😁

Hm,  California, where TinkerD  live, is still in the USA , right ?   😊
WH= White House

FTTH all-in-one is 71 euro here 😕 Actually, just checked - we pay 63.50 for 100/30 copper + TV. Fiber is not available where we live.

Yes, and the taxes are higher for China (CN).

I'm in EE country (member of EU). Finally something technical which is cheaper in EE then in WE 😊

I don't understand how China jumped  into discussion  about prices in EU and USA ?

Because you mentioned WH and prices 😉 WH introduced additional import taxes for CN to protect US manufacturers. The Internet was made in the US, hence the taxes do not apply, hence the prices should not go higher. OK, enough of politics 😁

I agree. NO POLITICAL crap, please.
But here is my breakdown.
Internet, tv (150 channels), phone service (weather you want it or not) cost me $189.00 per month.
2/3 of that goes to people that can’t or won’t work.
CN, WH, EU, EE, whatever, we do pay more in our section than other sections because of users fees, taxes, equiptment rentals and subscriptions.

So, I choose not to have unwanted services. That’s all. Nothing more.
