This is what happens when a television provider is cast in the role of ISP.

I understand your point. For some, there is no alternative besides 
dial-up. I specifically live where I do because I know that DSL is 
available. I lost my broadband for a year when I moved to Hillsboro. 
After my lease was up, I moved back to Aloha.

When given a choice, humans will make many sacrifices to get what they 
perceive that they want.
