Calling customer service and threatening to cancel internet service so they'll offer another 12-month promo pricing doesn't really work when they know they're practically the only game in town.

That monopoly is also threatened.
New satellite constellations (at least three players) as well as 5G in cities and 'burbs.
Starlink should be operational next year.
