I live in San Francisco and only have one choice (AT&T Uverse). I am in a new building with fiber connections, but I'm stuck paying $150+ a month for 15MB internet and middle of the road TV. My Netflix is heavily throttled. My service hits 1000+ ms pings at least a few times an hour for minutes at a time. I often get download speeds far less than the rate I pay. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I even miss Comcast.

I honestly don't see how it could get worse with internet regulated as a utility. Imagine if my gas and electricity decided to not show up for a day.
