Seems like a lot of folks here don't really understand the reason why ISPs over subscribe and why it's necessary.
I wrote an article about this a couple weeks ago where I tackle that and other issues surrounding net-neutrality. Not to toot my own horn too much. But it seems a lot of folks are pretty out of touch with the real issues surrounding the debate.

Where the fuck do you live where you have more than 2 viable choices for an ISP?
Try anywhere outside of the United States. I live in The Netherlands and I've only got one choice of cable ISP. But I have about 4-5 options for DSL.
An article I wrote a couple weeks ago makes plain how important competition is in the ISP market.

It speaks volumes that you're able to admit these harsh realities to yourself and confront them. I hope you find someone to love you. You deserve it. Keep searching.
From TFA:
We're told that we now live in an era of more regulation and more government spending, but neither approach is how problems get solved in technology...
What we need to get the U.S. back into the top ranks of wired countries is more competition, not taxpayer handouts. That would be a real stimulus.
What this guy doesn't seem to get is that we only get more competition through more regulation. As was the case when Carter launched the case that broke up AT&T.
We need to stir the pot every once in a while and break things up. It's time to break up AT&T again to create more competition in local exchanges.
