No, it truly is part of the problem and there is no excuse for you to be billed that much. Two things can be true!

I have the option of 200 megabits for $19. It all depends on what infrastructure is already there and how much it costs for them to get the hookup to you whatever it is. I think the real problem is that we're living under their rules which are based on how much money they can make rather than providing equal access for everyone.
