ISPs cannot compete with local cities offering the fastest and cheapest access in their area, so rather than improving the services offered or incentivizing their customers they simply buy a stake in the Ohio legislature and ban the competition.

They just don't want to because then it will become a commodity market which will cause prices to race to the bottom instead of a scarce market which allows them to charge higher prices and avoid reinvesting in their network to improve quality since there is no comparable service to compare their quality against.
