Also, some consumers don't have a choice. Not a real one, anyway. There are many places where there is only one provider available with connection speed/quality suitable for modern applications. Typically rural areas or small towns, where there may be only one DSL provider available (it's probably hard to imagine if you live in a big city, but cable internet is NOT available everywhere).

I live in Seattle. Not a small town, and the home of a pretty large swath of tech companies - so a place where you'd think there'd be options.

There aren't options.

If I want more than 5Mb service (down), I have ONE option - Comcast.

I have never lived somewhere where there were more options than here.
