Technically, I have four, maybe five choices, only one of which is practical. Wireless - Poor reception, technicians unable to connect to uplink/head-end equipment Cellular - Too expensive, data caps, and poor reception (really). DSL - I used this for four years at my home and was generally satisfied with my private DSL reseller's service. I only left because their service only allowed 1.5Mb, which was no longer satisfactory. Ironically, AT&T now offers 6Mb/s service in my area but DSL resellers apparently aren't permitted to resell "U-verse" even though it is provided via an industry standard protocol, ITU G.992.3 Cable - I have cable now 15Mb, the highest speed they offer. They keep promising to roll out higher speeds, but have yet to do so. Satellite - Does that count as broadband? Not for me. High latency and low uplink speed rules it out, and expense. This is an especially crazy situation for me considering that I live near a major internet backbone corridor (0.5mi from my home). So, strictly speaking there is no monopoly, but the result is hard to distinguish from that of a monopoly/cartel situation.
