As someone who uses the internet heavily for schoo...

As someone who uses the internet heavily for school and such, I was quite disappointed to learn that upon moving with a friend in Lancaster, CA, internet was provided by Consolidated Smart Systems, and they have a monopoly on the apartment complex where my friend lives. How they can get away with this is beyond me! First of all, this is 2015, and internet speeds are 6mbps download, and 1mbps upload, that's it! I believe 2004 called, and they want their internet back! Speeds vary a fair bit, and it's sad to know that I get better internet on my cell phone, several times better internet in fact. I wanted to bring in my own cable connection from Time Warner Cable, which can offer internet that's over 30 times better than what I'm able to get with these folks, but of course all indications are, I can't get Time Warner in this complex, because of smart systems monopoly! How can they get away with this! It'd be one thing if say Time Warner was the sole provider, but CSS is, for both TV and internet. Since CSS seems to not want to keep up with modern technology, I hope they go out of business. No apartment complex should ever have this kind of monopoly type deal with providers that can hardly provide internet! The TV service provided via CSS is DirecTV by the way.
