I get synchronous 200mbps from Webpass for $450 a year. They don't provide content or services on top of that, which means they don't have incentives to analyze my data, nor will they attain perverse infrastructural advantages over other online services. It is the proverbial "dumb pipe" many here wish they had. And I'm very happy with that.
I don't want a world where Google runs my internet connection any more than I want a world where Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, Amazon or Facebook does.
