Where I live right now I have 2 choices. FIOS, who I like because the product is excellent, and the local small guy.
Last place I lived it was FIOS, DSL, or the local guy, Cablevision.
Dish based are not an option for internet service as they partner with cable providers to bundle with their service so you only get what's already available.
The local government protected geographic monopolies that cable providers have is part of the problem.
A lot of places you only have one choice.
