My internet provider is the cable monopoly, so they win anyway. I could get DSL, but it's shit here and anyway only ~$25 cheaper than the cable (which is 5x faster...). For $15, I could get cable tv, apparently diverting what I currently pay for internet away from profit and over towards channel fees. I've never fully digested them, but Michigan seems to have shitty franchise laws written in service of the large cable companies.
