The UK, but my point was that just because people have access to something doesn't mean they can actually access it - if it's way too expensive for most people, for example. Similar thing with healthcare in the US I guess.

I pay $50 a month for the internet and two mobile contracts, with 4GB data each and unlimited texts/minutes, from BT.

TV is free (freeview, with hundreds of channels). You can pay for Sky or Virgin and get every channel ever, but why would you.

It looks like BT is over $50 per month for 76/19 fiber alone: https://www.products.bt.com/broadband. That’s not a great deal compared to any US metro with fiber. Verizon offers 50/50 for $40, and AT&T offers 100/10 for $60. Am I missing something?
