On many US military installations, there are two options for service members who want internet service in their homes or barracks rooms. The options are to pay $40 per month for a low-speed wireless connection that is shared by everyone in the barracks who pays in, and setting up service through Comcast. Since Comcast doesn't have to compete with other ISPs for potential contracts, they actually don't offer the same rates to on-post personnel as they do to civilians or soldiers who live off post. The result being that the lowest paid group of service members (unmarried junior enlisted) have to pay more than double the price that the higher ranking service members can expect to pay off post for basic internet access. This information is based on my experience at Joint Base Lewis-McCord.
