There are only two modalities. Make it faster and better, or squeeze the captives harder. I suspect that you will be able to avail yourself of competition before too long. The market doesn't speak as much as it shoves.

You mean like me, who have satellite internet?

40G sounds like a dream. I pay $55 a month for 7500MB average per rolling 30 days, 512KB down and a 3 second latency, which makes online gaming and some flash sites impossible to access.

You want the government to come in and set the price?

Be patient. I'm guessing your phone company will be taking advantage of a business opportunity just given them on a silver platter.
