I recently moved and needed to sign up for internet and TV service. I
chose a package that Comcast advertised would cost $90 per month.
When the first bill arrived, it totaled - surprise! - $127.72. That's
42 percent more.
...
We dont even know how much a normal internet bill costs, whether
people are getting the speed theyre paying for or how much prices go
up in areas without competition. To find out, the advocacy arm of
Consumer Reports is launching a first-of-its-kind initiative called
Broadband Together, where its asking Americans to upload copies of
their internet bills so it can gather raw data. It took me less than
seven minutes to join. Youll need a recent bill and an internet
connection to test your speed, as well as to answer a few questions.
