The report revealed neighborhoods with lower incomes and fewer white people get stuck with slower internet while still having to pay the same price as those with faster speeds.

We need flexible system that monitor every customer's income from database for this since it's more easy to implement right now thanks to AI.

Even though from privacy perspective is not good to know, but since data can manipulate into another form, we can still find another solution on how to deliver this perfectly well balance in society we live in.

Or, hear me out, we regulate them like the utility they are and don't give them more friggin' information on our lives? It's unfortunate but you can't put the genie back in the bottle. It's time to treat them as vital as access to water or electricity. If they want still be in the game and make some money, they need to fall in line. I am tired of my life being screwed around by companies that have become cornerstones of 21st century life rent-seeking me into oblivion.
