The week after google fiber arrived in my neighborhood, my cable provider "spontaneously" decided to double my connection speed for the same price, "because we care about our customers and want them to have the best experience possible."

As usual, South Park absolutely skewered cable companies, and pretty much said all there is to be said

I had Comcast when I lived in Chicago. They basically run that city. You can't get any decent internet anywhere else. All the other providers for some reason in the city, didn't cover any neighborhood I was in.

The biggest thing I liked, moving back to Iowa was decent internet provider.
