How much competition was in Chattanooga before EPB?

Before EPB, it was basically just Comcast. So none.
Yeah, I hear this all the time: "municipal broadband services would be anticompetitive", while ignoring the fact that there is a de facto monopoly in place and municipal broadband would actually introduce competition.

I noticed that line of argument seemed more common when I lived in the south (NC).
