No, but ISP's are supposed to provide good broadband to everyone.
`Good`, of course, is a relative term. Can you specify the maximum upload/download rates that you're provided?
Yes, sometimes it comes out of their pocket, but that is the cost of doing business here.
When you have paying customers, it's never `the cost of doing business`
They get good income anyway, so they can put up with providing access to people with remote locations even if it costs more.
There's that `good` word again. Did you decide that they can shoulder that extra cost yourself? I'd like to see the little socialist prince who did.
We don't leave people dieing in cold.
And how does that have ANYTHING to do with broadband internet access? If broadband (note that the *quality* of the connection is being specified; it's not enough you have a connection i.e. dial-up) internet is a `human right`, then I would claim there are a whole lot of things that are more practically useful for the sustainment of human life that are as well.
