The real reason your cable bill is so high and what you can do about it

The real reason your cable bill is so high — and what you can do about itWho doesn’t think their Internet and cable bills are too high? For years now, I’ve been tracking the stories asking why we in the U.S. seem to be perennial sufferers of a certain chronic syndrome: Bills too high, Internet speed too slow. There are a quite a few studies that show the United States has the slowest Internet speeds in the developed world – and also the highest bills. The divergence is amazing. Compared to France, the U.K. and South Korea, we have speeds four times as slow and we pay three or four times as much. Is this comparison fair?
