The legislation banning municipal broadband is a symptom. The problem is capitalism.
All capitalism does is try and create enclosures and then use that monopoly to jack up prices for people who absolutely do not have to see the negative externalities of those endeavours. It is the most parasitic form of intermediation.
National ISPs are terrible. They shouldn't exist. The best Internet in the US by a mile (and it's not even close) is municipal broadband (eg [1]).
