For what I understand, a lot of places in US have only a single provider available, so no competition. And when towns try to run their own broadband infrastructure they get sued by Internet companies.
broadband? Isn't this specifically about cable TV, not Internet communication?
luckily theres also 5G wireless home internet and starlink, usually also telecom land options as well.
