There may be half way decent ISPs in the US, but I haven't seen one

per month over what Comcast or US-West was charging for half-assed,
crippled internet access).
I think there is probably a good correlation between size and desire to
be good and provide service.
I've found that smaller ISPs (who actually try as opposed to cheating
people) tend to be better. Sadly, many of these Mom & Pop type ISPs
were consumed during the aptly described race to the bottom.

I still do consulting work with a small M&P ISP in my home town and I
have a small municipal ISP where I am now. Both are quite good in many
regards. Unfortunately, neither of them offer IPv6.
