Broadband providers want to prevent city from building muni network if just one house in area gets 1.5mbps.

I call B.S. If the taxpayers decide to spend money on building their own network because the telco/cable companies ain't doing the job, that's up to them. These companies just don't want the competition.

And 1.5mbps is pathetic.
