It's not that they're "offering everything". They have a connection to the 
backbone, and that's what you're buying. Then they want to charge more based 
on what happens on networks they don't own.

If I want to read the ESPN sports network website, and my ISP filters 
packets coming from ESPN's website, and ESPN isn't on the same ISP, that's 
like your local post office refusing to deliver mail for products you bought 
online.

It wouldn't be so bad if there were lots of competition for ISPs, but there 
really isn't. It's not like going to a clothing store in a mall, where if 
they don't carry your size you go next door.
