That does sound frustrating. I'm pretty anti government in general, but one thing my city has done is make the best internet service I've ever had. My IP address hasnt changed in the 7 years I've been here and I don't even pay for static IP. Plus I get symmetric gigabit for $70. The profits are required to be rolled back into infrastructure upgrades. That's why we even got fiber. They just had a huge pile of money lying around and said "I guess we'll upgrade everyone to fiber". They already had conduit installed because of good city planning so it was just upgrading switches and running wires for the most part. (I'm sure it was more than that, please don't hang me by my hyperbole)
