It's not a free market when a municipality grants a "franchise" to a cable company. As someone else posted, I have two landline choices for Internet:
1. Comcast Cable
2. ATT DSL (drinking the Internet through a straw)
One can also go the route of satellite Internet service but that is very costly. When the local government granted the franchise, they set up a local monopoly.

ATT was rolling out FIOS nicely for a while there. They made a corporate decision to slow network upgrades at the top tier level due to concerns with reclaiming investment thanks to net neutrality.
seems wireless will be the way to go moving forward for all but streaming video
Bit torrents are not illegal, that's true. But it's probably true that 95% of them are. It's not illegal to stand on a corner in a miniskirt, lean into a car and offer up some sex in a cheap motel either. From the outside looking in free sex transaction looks the same as a fee-for-service transaction too. But no one wants either on their property. Bye bye bit torrents
edit: hahahahahha. This is from 2010 though. 99.7% bittorrents illegal or infringing copyright
