Wow 120 dollars a month is a pretty hefty price. Didn't know that's what the cost was

That's literally the exact same amount I'm paying Comcast in suburbia. The speed it a little bit better most of the time but it's not like I can make full use of it.

If you think that price is insane, go check out the price for legacy satellite internet and the speeds/data cap they provide for it.
