I forget how lucky we are in Minneapolis compared to the rest of the USA to have 3 ISPs and also have fiber as an option.

- bdhess 8y agoI’ve had multiple broadband choices in every metro area I’ve lived in, too (now on my fourth in the US). Of course, I’ve lived in parts of those metro areas that were densely populated. I.e., where a competitor could reasonably expect to recoup the cost of overbuilding. In less dense areas, the economics would be far worse.
- woodruffw 8y agoCounter anecdote: I live in Manhattan and have only one broadband option: Time Warner, a.k.a. Spectrum. Verizon offers 5/1 "broadband" DSL for twice the price, and the other two regional providers (Optimum, RCN) don't service my neighborhood (which is by no means sparsely populated).
