    a threat that doesn’t pass even the slightest sniff test, any significant raise in prices would leave them open for a competitor to undercut them.

      For what I understand, a lot of places in US have only a single provider available, so no competition. And when towns try to run their own broadband infrastructure they get sued by Internet companies.

      You mean the one other provider in the area? They raised prices too because it’s be easier to pump existing customers for more than entice people to switch.
