It is all about the competition, or the lack of that the telco's are interested in. I have DSL through a Verizon line reseller, my package is faster than anything Verizon would let me pay for. I tried, I really really tried, went all the way up to the business end, and even they wouldn't offer me a package this fast. The reseller did, and thus got my business. Same verizon line, the reseller just didn't choose to tell me what I could and couldn't pay for. (and it works flawlessly I might add) This is an even more obvious problem now that Verizon has changed to their "everyone gets one rate, but with varied connection speed" policy.
The telco's just need to learn how to compete, something they are not very good at. They prefer to have the monopoly in any given area, as it allows them to dictate prices and policies that they couldn't with a competitor nipping at their heals.

You hit the nail on the head.
