That doesn't sound like lots of choice, that sounds like you have one decent choice, or you can pay to have fibre laid. I'm in the UK, and _I_ have ISP choice.

That doesn't sound like lots of choice, that sounds like you have one decent choice, or you can pay to have fibre laid. I'm in the UK, and _I_ have ISP choice. I have two separate FTTP providers that have laid fibre to my door that I can choose from. I pay $60/mo for 900/500 guaranteed, but in practice I get 900/900 most of the time. The other provider is slightly more expensive but the same speeds. If I don't want that, I can have gigabit cable, or two separate ADSL providers that will give me 140mbps (which is resold by countless providers for sub $30/mo)
