This is why monopoly regulation exists, but it is not always employed. There is only one terrestrial internet provider where I live. There is zero oversight of their pricing (they just increased prices 20+%) or service. The only alternative is satellite, but that isn't much of an option because we get weather that takes it out for weeks at a time multiple times each winter (e.g., 10 feet of snow fell in the last week of February / first week of March). There is spotty cell coverage for ~20% of the town and none for the rest. So, no competition and no regulation.
