What if you don't have a choice of broadband providers. Many people are in this situation. It is the cable company that has the contract for their area, or nothing.
This is why cable TV is regulated, at least in the US... there are generally no competitors. Yes, there are a few markets where there are. But, the majority of places (at least in the US) most people have a choice of 1 or none.
