    I have lived in a lot of different cities in Minnesota with only the typical duopoly of evil companies (usually Comcast and Centurylink). However, in southeast MN, there is now fiberoptic Internet access. I get 100Mbps/100Mbps for $60/month. The company providing it is HBC, who is surprisingly non-evil. I think they used to be owned by a nonprofit org.

    My neighbors have Comcast, and they are still as abusive as ever, even now that they have competition. They charge undisclosed "regulatory recovery" fees, increase prices without warning, mail indecipherable bills, and have 45 minute waits on hold to dispute a bill.
