Thread: What to do about this internet service monopoly

I started as IT at a business in October. The internet is controlled by the local ISP.

TO put it bluntly; they suck. The speeds are SLOW and the prices are OUTRAGEOUS. Customer service is awful as well.

We just put an order in for 2Mbps connection (their max) for $99 a month. Thats ridiculous. Furthermore, their monopoly runs about 10 or so square miles.

Upon further investigation, the company is grandfathered in as the ONLY provider allowed in this area.

I have already wrote to my congressman and other ISP's, etc. What more can I do? Antitrust lawsuit?

What isp is it and where are you located (city,state and/or country)
