I, personally, have no complaints with Amazon. I like competition; I don't like monopolies which are the inevitable end-result of continued success.

I like to send those little box calendars to relatives and friends at Christmas for one. With Prime it is very economical. That is just one item.
On the Monopoly business, I haven't been involved in that discussion much, but most the people have made good arguments that Amazon isn't a Monopoly.
On DSL, I was running 3/4 Mbps, but with an introductory U-Verse plan for Voice and Internet, man I am zooming at 12Mbps. I am like that guy in front of the speakers with the wind whipping back his hair and his ears.
The TV deal with U-Verse was good too but I am not at home enough to benefit from it, and really mostly download what I want so I let that go.
Check on the U-Verse in your area.
