Nope nope nope the ability to get shite tier satellite internet service means that wired residential internet service isn't a monopoly.
On the other hand running your house off a generator is TOTALLY DIFFERENT than getting magical "grid power". So even though you COULD do it and could recreate the effects of grid power 100%..... we are going to ignore all of that for the purposes of discussing power companies as natural monopolies.

Just because you have the choice of buying bread from the sole bakery within 100 miles or buying apples from the sole apple farm within 1000 miles does not mean that each do not have a monopoly on their given products.
Broadband =/= wireless
They are not the same product just as bicycles and pickup trucks are not the same product. They both get you where you want to go but have completely different ranges, utilities, drawbacks, and customer bases.
The fact that there may be 3 wireless providers that work in your area does not mean that the fact that there is only 1 broadband provider does not mean that that 1 company doesn't have a monopoly on broadband service.
Whether it's an absolute geographic monopoly or an oligarchy, the end result is the same. The customer gets screwed and has extremely limited venues for redress.

Data caps. Hmm. Why do they still exist under net neutrality and Title II? Maybe because they have nothing to do with providing internet service?

This bullshite again. Your generator doesn't give you access to the power grid. You sending packets to your neighbor doesn't give you access to the internet.

Well actually yes, but that's a separate conversation. You keep sleeping in this term grid, which I bolded above.
So instead of talking about internet. I want you to explain how I get hardwired internet from someone who isn't an ISP.

I’ll give the board credit though, only the most devout trump sycophants are supporting the end of NN.

I think you can concede water based on his post but power is a bit different i agree.
The concept of internet as a commodity vs utility vs consumer service is an interesting one and far from trivial. The reality is that it may not fully fit any of these accepted standard taxonomies... (sort of like classifying a virus as life)...
What I will say is this: consumers have both benefited and suffered for the current situation... Private innovation has driven incredible improvements in the ISP and data services space. NN in my eyes is intended to preserve that innovation by not allowing de facto monopolies decide what businesses can succeed on the internet. My 02 cents.

Find me when the two major powers were not only economic allies, but mutually dependent on one another’s economy? It hasn’t been implemented to this scale remotely. This is a situation that I consider world peace.
But I guess people hundreds of years ago could have seen this coming, right, despite that it had never been done before?

Every one of you guys use the exact same stupid talking points that I found on reddit years ago.
It's not bicycles versus pickup trucks. It's a honda versus a Ferrari. One's faster, both get you to the job using the highway. Or information superhighway if you want to be old school.

Do those wireless providers meet the criteria for broadband according to the FCC definition? If the answer is yes, no monopoly.
Words have meanings. You not liking the meanings is irrelevant.

Wait...so now you're saying oligarchies are natural monopolies? That's odd.
