There's little chance that #Comcast or any other large company would have done the right thing otherwise. https://boston.cbslocal.com/2020/08/10/coronavirus-deaths-quincy-comcast-bill/ [boston cbslocal com] -

The older one is in #GoogleFiber territory, and is very pleased with it. The younger one is currently choosing between 3Mbps #CenturyLink DSL or a local microwave ISP (faster, but more expensive). -

The reason there were so many ISPs during the era of pervasive dial-up is that #FCC "common carrier" rules prevented the last mile owners from blocking other providers (such as AOL, Prodigy, EarthLink, and the local mom and pop companies that sprung up everywhere). The reason there are so few options besides the last mile providers is that the FCC ruled that high speed access (first with cable, around the year 2000-2001, then later DSL/fiber) was not subject to said requirements. -
