People have a visceral hatred of utilities for some reason, but isn’t this obviously false?

> the 2 industries that that get more expensive every year while providing worse service every year are cell phone networks and cable/internet providers.

I get 150 mbps down at my random exurban strip mall with Comcast 5G (which runs on Verizon’s network). It’s gotten a lot faster in the last five years.

What else has improved that much in consumer tech over the past five years? Windows and MacOS have been stuck in a rut. Intel did like five or six rehashes of Skylake in that time frame. Apple CPUs have really improved in that time frame. But many aspects of the web have gotten worse. Google seems to be worse than it was in 2015, thanks to SEO. Amazon is full of fake products, etc.
