The sad thing about this is in many places (at least in the US) there are few if any alternatives. In my city, I can either get Time Warner Cable or AT&T DSL. I'm 20 miles from Verizon's office but FIOS is illegal in my city. So if the ISP starts screwing with the content then you have virtually no alternative.

I'm interested to know why FiOS is illegal in your city? I don't know of any regulation that would make it.

Some odd law in Texas. But I think FIOS is no longer being expanded anyway in favor of wireless.
