I agree that the US should regulate its ISPs and restore net neutrality, and that that's a more pressing issue than google.
However, Google has had a number of practices in the past that were anti-competitive. So much so that the EU fined them 1.5 Billion last year[0]. Anti-trust law is not so simple as "Is there any competition?".
In my personal opinion, Google has ongoing anti-competitive practices, but IANAL and I am far from an expert.
