Most people don't actually have a phone company for "broadband". Right now, "broadband" is defined as at least 25Mbps down and DSL often tops out at 3-7Mbps.

Most people don't actually have a phone company for "broadband". Right now, "broadband" is defined as at least 25Mbps down and DSL often tops out at 3-7Mbps. While 25Mbps will fit a few HD streams and might (5 by Netflix's specs), 3Mbps DSL simply doesn't offer the ability to watch HD video and likely makes things like Zoom a very rough experience. I think it's also likely that a lot of people will end up seeing 2-3 wireless broadband options given that there are three wireless carriers. Maybe you live in a Fios area so you feel like there is competition. I wish I lived in a Fios area. For so many people, wireless home internet means getting another competitor (or another 2 or 3 new competitors). I have access to Verizon DSL at 3Mbps. I can't leave my cable company for that. I could leave my cable company for wireless home internet in the 25-300Mbps range.
