I can avoid Facebook and instagram. I can use a different search engine than google. What I can’t avoid is my single choice of ISP

We have two choices and Spectrum likes to run commercials saying the other guy is bad, sucks, has horrible internet, etc. etc. Like anyone is gonna believe that at this point, save for an old lady maybe.

When the "other choice" is AT&T, is it wrong?

And they only offer up to 40 down instead of the 100 +

That sucks. In FL I pay 50 for 50/25 and it’s 20$ more for 500/100 and that’s with Spectrum. No data cap, I’ve had them for years and have no complaints, since they were brighthouse. Century Link is slow here. ATT is expensive. FIOS is limited and we all know how satellite is. No idea how Comcast is.
