re: FCC announces plan to reverse Title II net neutrality

I really don't see anything in those links that proves your original statement. The government wanted companies to have an incentive to provide service to hard to access areas.
The companies say they met the government's requirements and the government agencies, one of them the FCC, agreed with them. If you don't think those agencies did their job, just remember those same government bureaucrats would be enforcing net neutrality on ISP's.
Stringing cable, fiber or otherwise, to provide internet service is a dinosaur technology.
I have at least 5 providers I could use for data/internet services where I live and only one of them has a wire coming into my house.

You are in the minority and I doubt all 5 providers are offering competitive speeds.

And 4/5 would provide service that would be extremely slow compared to the wired one. People bring up satellite internet when claiming there is competition. Satellite is stupid expensive and extremely slow. Sites are built today assuming people have a certain download speed. If you don't then you might as well not have the internet.

Do some of the other 4 buy bandwidth from the one that does have the wire?
