Because assholes like CenturyLink bribed a whole
lot of govt politicians with your money against
you to make it criminal illegal theft of service.

And because, again, you paid a whole lot of
govt schools to program you and society that
you cannot negotiate and must sign all contracts
handed to you, so it's also breach of a totally
absurd lopsided one way contract. Which by
the way, most of them allow the ISP to whore
your internet activity out to the highest bidder,
and simply give it away to the govt.

That's why ;)

Do you have ANY idea how much community
co-op guerilla network that $50/mo will get you?

One year of that is $600 per landowner or residence.
That gets you a shovel, a spool of terminated fiber,
a barebones Unix router box, 3 x 1Gbps symmetrical
ports 2 of which multihome you out to your next hop
neighbors, the natural right to run servers, and community
support. Electricity at $25/yr, but... one year of that gets
you $300 for a solar rig for the router. Go ahead splurge
for batteries blinky lights, and random other bling...
Total $1250, one time, good for at least 10yr.
That's still less than an avg 2y ISP promo contract.
If you want to hit the internet plug the whole sq km
worth of you into a 10-40Gbps Tier-1 for a $1/mo.

Yet all you idiots keep paying that $50+/mo down the drain.
$600+/yr, 2y, 5y, 10y, 20y... till you die, and don't own
shit for it but a slave stamp on your ass and spies
tapped straight into your cranium. Retards.

Wake up, rise up, do it yourself.
