It's a consumer thing. If consumers wanted more options, they would be supporting those options with their wallets.

What kind of internet are these devices on? With Net Neutrality gone here in the US it would be a good way to measure certain services such as SIP to see which ISP's if any are tampering with packets.
Given previous history, the answer will probably be "most of them".
"The results are not inspiring. More than 129 million people are limited to a single provider for broadband Internet access using the FCC definition of 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. Out of those 129 million Americans, about 52 million must obtain Internet access from a company that has violated network neutrality protections in the past and continues to undermine the policy today.
In locations where subscribers have the benefit of limited competition, the situation isn't much better. Among the 146 million Americans with the ability to choose between two providers, 48 million Americans must choose between two companies that have a record of violating network neutrality."
