I think I’m on the upper end of what’s normal in U.S. but also not super abnormal either —

1. Four lines on Google Fi is about $220 per month for “Unlimited”.

2. Comcast is $95 per month for 1Gbps.

3. A regular cinema ticket is $22.83 to the nearest movie theater and that isnt a "premium" thing like IMAX.

For about that price you can get a monthly subscription to a lot of local cinemas and unlimited viewings here. In my city all three cinemas are in this system so we just go see a movie whenever we want. Doesn't include IMAX ones and chains of course.

Some of the US theatres (Regal, for instance) have something like that, too.
you guys are getting ripped the fuck off
It's rent. Rent varies based on location, and sets a price floor for all goods and services in that location.
