internet should be a free public service, and if we're going to have a government, they should be running it. the one major disadvantage of that is that they would absolutely spy on you, which the corporations freely let them do anyway, but charge us out the ass for. fuck them.
and if you want to keep the corpos (why?) it's not even about speed: the only costs of internet access are initial infra, backbone licensing, and maintenance. none of those are super use dependent; the parts are not mechanical, and do not wear much faster with increased throughput.
