We do ... for landline telephone service. The telecomm companies had to put up with that for so long that when other communications services started seeing demand, they did what they could to lobby away similar regulation for internet access. What it boils down to in most places is that internet access is not (legally) a public utility and therefore skirts public utility regulation.
