We can't get DSL in my area of Bloomington because the phone infrastructure is too old. Comcast has a monopoly on broadband service, and residential service starts at $60 per month. Of course this is not all Comcast's fault, the city council could take a little leadership on broadband access for Bloomington. But I suspect the city is in cahoots with Comcast because they get their community-access cable services and infrastructure from Comcast. I wonder what other benefits the council gets from Comcast that they make us continue to pay Comcast $60 per month for their marginal internet services, but that's the state of affairs right now.
