Google is a large enough company to peer and get the rate telcos actually value their service at. The rest of us are paying through the nose for state protected monopoly service. Telcos should be glad that companies like Google have created a demand for ISP service at monopoly rates. The rest of us are waiting for Google and others to use whitespace spectrum to finally eliminate the last mile barrier. At that point, we will all get fair bandwith rates and surviving telcos won’t be able to point to one rape to justify another.
