The cost is prohibitive and the quality is questionable.

The cost is prohibitive and the quality is questionable. There's just no pleasing you, is there? ;D The point is that there are choices. The current choices are not satisfactory to all and thus EPB has entered the market. Comcast will lose their asses and all without gov't intervention.

Unfortunately, being out in Harrison, I won't have access to EPB fiber!

I just can't see how genuine net neutrality is any more troublesome than the FCC mandating the frequency on which a transmitter can operate.
The net effect is that I can't interfere with another person's ability to broadcast on a public airwave.

You would be correct if there were meaningful competition ion the marketplace, but there isn't. If you want high speed internet in Chattanooga what options do you have? 1. Comcast 2. Maybe EPB sometime in the future. 2 players doesn't constitute meaningful competition. There are more than 2 choices out there. Here's a list of the fastest ISPs in Chattanooga, courtesy of Speedtest.net. Note that Comcast Cable is faster than EPB telecom.
