The suburb (outside of Seattle city limits) that I live in is a suburban area, density is easily high enough.
My choices are Comcast (up to 1gbit down / 30 mbit up IIRC) or rotting exposed copper POTS (from Clink?) that has VDSL at something around 10mbit down / 1 mbit up.
Thus, I have only one choice of broadband provider and due to lack of competition as well as lack of regulation, no broadband providers that offer unlimited service* (technically Comcast will happily charge me 600 extra dollars a year for no increased speed but no caps; however they shouldn't even bother with caps on their highest tier packages).
