That's the wrong question. We (at least, we who know things about the networking) know what a good ISP should look like. Internet service is a utility. There is no competition because there shouldn't be, you only need one provider in the area doing the job, you just need them to be doing the job right. If, because we're America and we're not happy unless suits are bending us over, we aren't going to have public ISPs, we need regulation to force ISPs to prioritize being ISPs over whatever their business interests are with regulation. If that's unacceptable than the solution is public ISPs, not allowing ISPs to bend the Internet into a shape more like TV and print for the majority of users where the media companies that own them aren't dinosaurs on their way out.
