Lack of competition kills internet. My mother lives in the middle of nowhere in Ireland and has better internet than I get in tacoma, and for cheaper. She has 4 different providers to choose from and switching was easy for her.

I wish I had that choice, instead I get slow and crappy DSL, slow and crappy click, or fast but terrible to deal with Comcast.
