Where I live, about 50 miles south of Atlanta down I-85, there is no
consumer broadband at all.

Satellite, Cellular, and T-1, those are my options.

A mile away, there are choices, but not here.  I am sure we aren't the only
neighborhood in this situation, even today.

And yet, I don't know of any location in the US with two cable
operators.

We have 2 separate cable providers in our town. One of them is a division
of the local telephone company, but it is still CATV plant. The telco also
operates a FTTH service with IPTV video as well.

The result is that the big national CATV provider had incredibly good rates
for a long time, and even after they were more than doubled, are still
really good.
