You also do not have Verizon, et al DSL?

Once management was finally shown the threat to landlines from 3G wireless, suddenly Verizon management began a program to have FIOS installed in all regions in four years. Verizon still has no FIOS plans for your region?

Details on these various problems and why service (competition) is so limited is discussed in The internet is over!. A significant reason why the 'Powell created' duopoly and the wireless providers so want to subvert net neutrality is Skype. Skype's service is a wide card that can undermine entrenched businesses by providing using competitive solutions. Entrenched companies fear innovation. Traditionally go running to government (ie FCC Commissioner Powell) for protection rather then innovate.
