Why isn't there more competition? How on Earth did you end up with only ONE provider?
That is something you should be asking.

As I said earlier...even in dial up days you had dozens of choices. Now you find yourself living in one of the biggest cities in the U.S. and you only have ONE choice?

Something happened. And it didn't happen "now". Trump hasn't done anything until yesterday with the rollback of the regulation.

So SOMETHING with the govt. (under Pres. Obama) happened to kill all the competition.
I would think that people would be just a little bit curious about what happened.
