We do in theory have competition for DSL service but the telcos just conspired to let their cable plant rot to make that undesirable.


But why though? It seems really silly. Even in a hyper competitive market like the UK, the incumbent telco still makes a fortune off home broadband service.

In the US AT&T and Verizon seem to have given up and want to just do cellular to make money and let their copper plant rot. They are gifting the entire market to Comcast et al.


No, we don't. The Brand X decision killed unbundling for DSL.
