I, for one, would happily pay the price to know my money isn't subsidizing lobbying to legalize the cable-fication of the internet.

I would too!

But we have no way of knowing that Verizon and Comcast aren't their backend. For all anyone knows, giving them money _is_ giving Verizon/Comcast money.

We use two back end carriers and about to add a 3rd. We do not use Comcast or Verizon. Of the ones we do use, you may have heard of one of the carriers, probably not the other. The 3rd, very unlikely. And no, I'm not going to name them.
