conspiracy theory

Why is it that one can never get good DSL/Cable/whatever high speed connectivity at home? All the phone companies, and cable companies suck? Or that the Goverment is behind all of the "problems", telling all the telecommunication companies not to provide good service. The government do not want homes to be connected to the net with high bandwidth, because given the high bandwidth and "always-on" connection, people can route all their voice/video/data communication thru these lines, encrypted, and un-tappable by the goverment, perhaps....
