most areas just have AT&T and then a cable provider (Cox, Time Warner, etc) What are the other realistic options for a regular broadband connection?
Simple question. Why wouldn’t those single service areas charge $10,000/mo. for basic service?

Well, they still have to attract new customers. Internet is not quite a utility like power and water for every American. However, the uncompetitive marketplaces with 1 or 2 providers have poor customer service and high prices. The barriers to enter are very high so it's not realistic to expect more competition.
