NYC has large sections with one reasonable (100Mbps) ISP.
There are few places in the Boston-Cambridge-Brookline metro area where you can get more than one. FiOS rollouts are spotty and often don't even encompass entire neighborhoods, which leaves you either with RCN--who tend to be pretty okay, as ISPs go--or the ongoing garbage fire of Comcast.
I strongly doubt that most "large metro areas" have pervasive, meaningful competition in even most areas, let alone all.
