Are your prices particularly bad? I know not everywhere has fibreoptic yet, but my friends have no trouble at all on non-fibre. So I can only assume moderately good Internet is extortionate, if bad Internet connections are so common?

And now, my ignorant/trolly gut reaction - You get what you pay for. If you want a good online experience you have to be willing to pay for it. You can't expect others to suffer your bad connection on your behalf.

Edit: Hadnt considered that some folks are likely on Wifi due to the layout of their homes. Fair enough, wifi sucks.
