    The odds of having more than one viable ISP option in the US are slim. I live in a major metro, and it’s only been the past couple years I’ve had a second option. I was living comcastrated for the previous decades.

      I live in the US, so I’m unfortunately all too aware. My options are dialup, DSL with speeds I had 20+ years ago, or a cable provider (not Comcast).

      Even if they aren’t viable (for example, the nonsensical DSL provider I mentioned), they may still have an offering. Mine is trying to give away netflix subs (with speeds that are barely usable). Doesn’t change the message to the ISP though.
