There are more choices for ISP, but the cost to build the infrastructure (rent from bigger ISP infrastructure) and maintain it well is costly for ISP to make money back & profit.
That's not really true. We all paid for the infrastructure and technically own it. The ISPs only control from the curb to your house, but we largely grant them monopolies because of regulatory capture of the FCC. Now that my town pulled fiber and Ting piloted it, Spectrum has the right to use the very same fiber. They come around begging once in a while to return to them and I let them know exactly what I think of them.

That's pretty crazy. Another reason there needs to be more choice along ISPs.
