Many ISPs have basically no real competition. Don't like your cable company? Your alternative is <5Mbps DSL with a tiny amount of upload, high-latency and low data caps on satellite, and if you're lucky, a wireless connection that's even worse than DSL.

Maybe in some places. But, that says they could raise prices now. And, to the extent that this is true (or not), they are still better off with reduced costs.
