That must explain why service and quality are always better around
monopoly providers. Competition just doesn't provide anyone with any
incentive to provide good business.

In fact, I say we nationalize all the ISPs in the country. Obviously,
by eliminating all this silly competition, we can improve price,
quality and service. Anyone want to go and lobby with me for it?
