Anyway, once the FCC does its best to keep the Internet from being a shithole, who do we yell at until it's considered actually a basic utility and prices come down and it's available to literally all Americans?

Congress and the President.

State and local governments, too. In a lot of cases, it's state governments making laws prohibiting municipal broadband, and municipalities signing franchise agreements to create local ISP monopolies.
