    “excellent customer service” is a really weird to state “monopolistic practices”

      It’s a good way to say, “customer service that blocks the exit,” though!

      This is stupid, but I thought I’d opened the discussion for this post, and trying to make sense of your comment within that context was interesting.

      The same issue is true with starlink though. So many in rural areas, and even some not-so-rural areas, have starlink as their only real option now. I love what starlink has done for rural internet access, as someone who had dial up (yes, not even DSL) up until 2018 when I moved. However, it’s still a monopoly, and that’s concerning. Starlink can essentially charge whatever they want for their service and have a market for their product. That’s sorta scary to me.
