Default US equivalent of UK service providers

Hi all,
I am new to this forum and reading through the posts for the last 2 nights. I am currently living in the UK and my wife won the Green card lottery. Now, we are considering to move US. But, before we come to a decision we try to consider all aspects of living in US.
To start with I appreciate if you share some information. What I am looking for are the major service providers (or retailers) in the USA and their websites? (or am I talking nonsense?)

Broadband Providers in US? (like UK: tiscali, sky)
TV services (like sky, virgin)
budget airlines (like easyjet, rynair)
money comparison sites (like moneysupermarket)
Online Banking? can we open a bank account online?
Landline providers? (like BT)
Mobile phone services (like orange, virgin)
Supermarkets (like tesco, asda, sainsbury's)
Water/Gas/Electricity suppliers?

I am sure I am missing a lot but you can add more.

Thanks a lot!
