You want these companies to profit. If they don't profit they won't build out infrastructure. I think you should be much more grateful to ISPs for the service they provide instead of angry for chargin what is in your opinion too much

This isn't about the overall pricing, though since ISPs are a natural monopoly they do require regulation to keep their pricing fair. The end result of both effective competition and regulation of non-competitive markets should be minimally profitable companies.

This is about ISPs having unfair power to manipulate a market that isn't even part of their core business. Traffic carriers shouldn't have control over the competitive landscape for content providers.
