It makes absolutely no sense to build multiple redundant last mile feeds. It doesn't make sense for water, it doesn't make sense for electricity, it doesn't make sense for sewers and it doesn't make sense for internet connections.
ISPs that own the last mile connections obviously don't want to share infrastructure with their competitors, because that would break their de facto monopolies. The only sensible solution is to regulate them into selling access to competitors.
It has worked extremely well here, fostering genuine competition, based on pricing and features, not just simple access.
