Given that I only have one ISP available to me. How would that work?

This is a problem of their own making. They can't have their cake and eat it too. Comcast has a monopoly in my area for high speed internet. Every other option is 25mbps(on a good day) or below. Comcast has shut down all potential competition.

So yea if they want to be a regional monopoly they might have some regulations placed on them they don't like.
