It's because I'm an evil asshole determined to protect my employer's interests and make our shareholders rich.

This is somewhat incompatible with protecting the interests of our competitors and enriching their shareholders.
It is not, however, incompatible with inexpensive access to the Internet through providers who are geared towards offering local support, nor is it incompatible with other clever organizations making money on the Internet too.
Yes, because you can't make money in local dialup.
Personally, I have little patience for the small and not-very-clueful who want to be direct competitors with a multibillion dollar company with lots of talent and who are taken to whining about my policies and those of my colleagues and associates, and even those of our competitors. This uncharitable attitude obviously does not endear me to them.
Well I as for one am going to try, hay I am only 19 if I get screwed I can do something else.
I would hope, though, that the bulk of our customers would be much happier with us driving towards a network reliable enough that they don't have to worry about their customers screaming (not to mention not having to worry about facing some very difficult scaling problems we are already staring at), than with us being the Department of Warm and Fuzzy Feelings.
I was one, and was not happy at all. The service was vary vary bad, and I also have people lined up to jump off you guys.
All of them know full well that the drive ain't easy.
