It's true that Bell and everyone like them are giving DSL access to the people at a lower cost than most other companies. The only problem is that they're doing this to blow any smaller companies out of the water.
Now if the second part of what you said was true, and these larger companies were doing the best business they could, then I wouldn't be typing this right now, but the fact is that half the time they're a bunch of bumbling idoits. Just recently I had to yell at an AT&T tech so they would fix router problems that they didn't even know they had.
Also, the fact that something becomes a monopoly is actually inherently bad. In fact there are a number of US and Canadian laws to prevent it. There are also laws that prevent software pirating and a lot of people don't care about them, but I'm guessing by the looks of "your" homepage you aren't one of those people.
