The question becomes how long do you expect the companies to maintain

I am OK with them wanting to upgrade to more reliable and better
equipment. The fact that they can have a monopoly on service in an area
and not be required to resell access to other ISPs I have a problem
with especially when they won't even offer the services some people want
(like static IPs and such).
It would be much better if the local infrastructure was a public utility
and then you bought service to run on it from the provider of your choice.
I am not anti-progress. But if it was real progress, reliability would
exceed that of POTS, the cost would be cheaper and I could rely on the
service working even in an emergency.
