Hmm. How many *choices* do you have?

The last time I looked, over 1/3 of the US had only one ISP, i.e., no choice. I’m in the metro area of the second largest US city and have 2 “choices” for high-capacity connectivity (i.e., not cellular), one of which is nearly bankrupt.

And let’s say I get both of those - it’s not like I can run apps connected to different WIFI access points at the same time from a single host.
