Why is this not LAN? It's at home.

Don't worry about if the ISP is in the same city or not it doesn't matter. You are connecting a modem to an Internet Service Provider. The internet is a WAN. It's only a MAN if the network itself doesn't go any further than the city area.

Why would this not be MAN? The network is still located in the same city

There are multiple ISPs in the city, hence not a MAN.

MAN = Metropolitan Area Network, does it not? Should this be assumed that the SOHO is setup outside of the city? How does multiple ISPs in the city justify WAN?

I would say that this is fair to assume. The question never states that the ISP is located in the same city, so I believe it is easier to assume that it is not.

ISP are WAN (multi-city, multi-region, multi-country, multi-continent) therefore connecting to an ISP means you are connecting to a WAN.
