    can’t choose what utility companies run into your home,

    This is the most farcical complaint. I guess sometimes you can pay a lot to get a new utility option to your owned home, but that’s usually not an option.

      In a lot of apartments you have no choice of ISP regardless of whether the building has a choice, which might be what they’re on about. But I’ve never owned a home where I could choose which utilities were available. (Except for electric choice which works in apartments, too.)

        even then it’s a problem we choose to have, in my apartment area we have a platform that allows us to choose between like, i think around 30? different ISPs, and switch between them freely at any time.
