For a lot of people it will be that way, sadly. Up until a few years ago my town only had one choice. But a friend of mine that lives about 20 minutes from me has several options.
I still think they will not throttle everyone. If they start throttling it down to dial-up speeds, people will never pay full price for that and will go back to dial-up. If people are paying $40-$60 a month for high speed internet they want high speed access and won't settle for getting garbage. But I will not be shocked to see those who use a lot of bandwidth get throttled and be forced to pay more to keep their speed up.
