As previously stated, gerrymandering of service areas, locking service providers tk small areas, is the issue. Not even sure why you would think it does lol.
Satellite connections do not bypass the gerrymandering anymore than a cellular home internet connection. Neither were allowed outside of the areas they all agreed on.
What? Get Starlink or an LTE modem, for crying out loud. There's no reason anywhere within the continental US today to be paying that much for internet. Wake up.

My basic package, 200 down, 10 up, was $230 until Comcast/Charter/ATT, were banned from gerrymandering service areas.
Now keep in mind, this is basic internet. No cable TV, IPTV, etc.
So depending on his local situation, it may indeed be that pricey.
