In a truly non-competitive system, we might be more conscious and more connected. Our internet connections might be routed using free high-speed publicly available internet and people would complain. Instead we have an absurd situation where a cartel of so-called "carriers" charge paying customers a toll for using the internet!
The end result of such a system would probably be to charge websites for last mile bandwidth instead of users. In a system with thousands of small ISPs that could actually work well to fund bandwidth expansion. Of course at that point everything would move to P2P and the system would break again.
