at the same time I don't want a single government ISP controlling everything controlled by bureaucracy.
At least today we have hundreds of small ISP companies, and at least a few big ones.
Every time I move I consider who my ISP will be.

Firstly, most municipal broadband networks, either built or proposed, absolutely do not include ISP services. Rather, they provide last-mile/Fiber-to-the-premises infrastructure that comes back to an interconnection point where multiple ISPs can provide Internet access services to customers. This actually increases competition, because ISPs don't need to pull cable to every single customer in order to provide service. They just need the appropriate back-haul capacity to service those customers who sign on with them. This allows for more competition on price, features and customer service, not a "single government ISP."
