How come anti-monopoly laws do not apply to these companies? Obviously they are price gouging their own customers in their respective regions, as evidenced by your example. How sub-par and expensive must a service be in order to get government regulators on it?

Because while it does seem like a monopoly, it isn't. If a person REALLY wanted to, they could move to another region and use a different provider. Something tells me there's some sort of lobbying going on which is preventing any sort of ISP reform.
