I wish I had multiple, legitimate (aka not dial-up, not 4mbit adsl), choices for an ISP.

I wish I had more than two choices at 4 mbit. You can pick the phone company or the cable company. Neither is very good, and neither cares - they don't need to.

Heck, I wish I had one choice where I could call tech support, tell them that I've been getting dropped packets and 3000 ms pings for over a week, and not have them blow me off because the bandwidth tests fine.

I see this all the time.

"Run the speed test at blah.ourdomain.net and let me know the results"

"Okay, this is reporting great but when I try to..."

"Awesome is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Yes I'm still seeing packet loss and really high latency!"

"Must be on your side click"
