The reason is competition. If internet companies become that bad then I myself will start one that preserves the old way. I'm sure I'd find plenty of backing too because where there's an untapped market there's money to be made. You seem to forget that the very basic principles of supply and demand will always slaughter the pigs. Especially in the new world of 5G and beyond where utility pole lobbying will no longer be such a thorn in small businesses side. You the consumer wield the power with your wallet. Don't do business with any ISP that treats their customers like that. I guarantee that not all ISPs will conform to the same practices because after all they are competing! If tmobile copied everything Verizon does they would be bankrupt. Companies have to act in accordance with what the market dictates, not what ever they please.
