Actually you (or the homeowner) had to pay for the infrastructure to get the water to you. There's the pipes in the home, and the pipes out to the well, and then the well, the pump and the cost to dig down to the water and install a pipe to that water. That can easily cost in the thousands of dollars depending on how deep they have to dig.
Now, you can consider your internet connection the same when you install your cable/fiber from your residence to the cable company and you are responsible for fixing any issues that come up with it. Of course you still need to pay the cable company a fee to use their network and send data out on to the Internet but that will be a much lower cost if you take on the costs/headache of managing the connection from the cable company to your home. |
