it's also about control

Obviously, if Camelot One got a faster speed from a reseller, the ILEC could have given him this speed if it so chose. For whatever reason, however, they chose not to; maybe they didn't want customers to know they could get faster speeds; maybe those speeds at this time didn't fit into some plan the ILEC had down the road; or maybe the ILEC refused to provide that speed just because they could.

The ILECs want to control every aspect of their lines so they can maximize their profits now and into the foreseeable future.

You also must consider overhead. A small/new company has less overhead and so can charge lower prices for the same product. ILECs have tons of fat like tenured employees with good benefit packages, network upkeep/upgrades and don't forget the price tag for the big boys at the top. Investors also expect a bit.
