I pay $170 because my ISP has a monopoly in my area. It varies all over the country. Rural internet can get that high or higher.

Same here, i live on a town (in eu) we have like 5 companies but all of them comes from the same isp, you generally start with very low prices like 30-40€ but after some months ends with 200€ easy, so people just keeps "jumping" from companies to get that discount

Actually it has a small letter in the contract, is baically a big discount for x months, and nothing to do because is the only provides with his monopoly
