few years ago a law was passed stating, due to the monopolies involved, that each provider was required to offer a basic broadband connection.

Oh, that. That's the Internet equivalent of what are commonly known these days as "Obama Phones". Not just everybody can get it. You have to be considered low income and meet other similar requirements as those that qualify for welfare and food stamps.

I'm pretty sure there was something ANYBODY was allowed to get if you just asked for it. $10/month

Uhh, nope. No such thing. Or else, 90% of the internet-using population would be on that plan.

Edit: Unless you are referring to something like Netzero dial-up, unlimited internet for $9.99 / mo. Of course... it's dial-up. Not broadband.
