Why you have so shitty phone carriers/internet providers/cable companies in USA? It almost looks like they can buttfuck you freely without anyone saying a thing?

America is very big, as such it costs a lot of money to lay cable. Cable is expensive. Because of this there is only a few companies willing to do so. When there is only a few companies doing something there is no competition, so they couldn't possibly give less of a fuck about you or their product.

Yes but you have a lot of customers also. Your population density is 35/km^2 and Finland have 18/km^2 so It's just bad excuse.

Americans hate ISPs, cable companies, and airlines as much as we hate Congress and syphilis

It's the thing I probably hear the most complaints about on a daily bases. Time Warner Cable at least has to compete with Verizon Fios where I live. Sadly a lot of the mid west is comcast territory and they suck the worst.

nice, why no change then though? Even most of you need to buy phones from phone carriers which are full of phone company bloatware.

Of all the things to criticize us for, you chose that to be the vanguard for your assault on God's country.

It's expensive to lay cables here, so only big companies can afford them, leading to severe lack of competition and shit quality as a result
The only way to resolve that would be to get more companies involved, which would require government interference in the market, which almost always brings trouble in the long run

>>50999305
A lot of americans are also beginning to stop using cable and shifting to internet streaming

That's why there's subsidies. But there is no regulation over said subsidies so they just sit on their ass and don't bother to improve anything.
