My local cable monopoly wants $120/month for internet access, or $100/month for internet, basic cable, and home phone. They have somehow managed to make internet access a loss leader for cable.
Making me appreciate my tax and fee-free 1000/1000mbit fiber internet connection that's been $70/mo for some 9 years now. No TV, but I'm fine with that.

Agreed, that's quite pricey. I was paying Comcast $92/month for 800/25 service including all taxes and fees after my introductory rate expired. I probably could have called to get them to lower the rate or switched to a lower tier, but I moved to a new place with included internet so I didn't bother with that. But Comcast has at least partial competition here in the form of Astound/RCN so the rates here might be less than other places. Comcast is so scummy they set much higher prices in areas without competition.
You were charged taxes and fees on pure internet? My Google Fiber has had neither for 8 years now!
