Yet thousands upon thousands, perhaps millions are locked into ridiculous contracts in one provider only areas, no competition and low data caps. Being held over the barrel to pay whatever they want to charge.

We still are very far behind.

USA is 7th in broadband speed and 41st in mobile. With as a big a country we have, as i'd say that's pretty damn good.

My guess is you have zero insight into this outside of some biased article you read online. I have a greater insight into what these so called one provider areas are actually experiencing than you do. I can assure you of that. You don’t know what you’re talking about and instead use an obscure, outlier example to fit your narrative.
