No. The spammers will relocate to India lol.

But in turn, the income of average Russians is 1500% less than in the western nations so the ratio we pay here is adequate.

Besides, Russia has good internet only in major cities (>1,000,000 million residents) with residents living in high-rise buildings (like NYC) so the distance and the cost to lay the cables is minimal. Now compare that to a single-family residences in California and you see the argument is false.

P.S. Russians making $200 per month are officially considered middle-class in Russia.

So basically you are advocating that someone else (the taxpayers) picks up you internet connection bill?

Have you considered to move somewhere else with a better internet rather than complain about everything and everyone?
