I think your last point should be that it's hostile to competition which could, in theory, benefit the consumer. That's kind of the big reason against government run businesses, that they stifle innovation and competition because they don't have to be profitable while their private sector competitors do. Though it sounds like competition doesn't work properly for broadband so it's more of an in theory reason.
