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 |
13 |
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 |
19 |
have a small municipal ISP where I am now. Both are quite good in many |
20 |
regards. Unfortunately, neither of them offer IPv6. |
