Variability in the quality of offerings in any given city/town seems like a particularly important reason to _not_ implement a blanket statewide ban on municipal broadband. If the quality of a municipal system sucks, the voters presumably have some leverage via voting to get it fixed. If a private provider has a local near-monopoly and sucks, and the state has banned the local municipality from competing, the only winner is the provider.
