There are many small, excellent ISPs; for instance Sonic [1] and Wave [2].
I hope people can and will now focus on the deeper problems behind awful Internet access in the USA, compared to most of the developed world -- local franchise monopolies, plus legislation against community-owned broadband (municipal, coop, etc. see what happened in Longmont CO). Once these problems are gone we won't need to worry about any issues supposedly solved by "net neutrality" regulation. SpaceX will soon offer satellite-based access. Maybe Google will restart its fiber program, too.

- alexeldeib 9y agoHappy Wave customer checking in! I have the gigabit plan and regularly see my actual throughput close to that.
- Clubber 9y agoOh, look at that. Neither one of those companies service my area, as I suspect most areas. Again, the point being, there are no small ISPs anymore.
