I guess it depends on what you mean by bad service. If by "Bad service" you mean don't return calls when your service is down, then I agree. If you are referring to bandwidth or latency, you are likely getting the best they can afford to give you for the price. It's the price you pay for living in the sticks. (I suffered with crap small ISP "high speed" internet for years so I sympathize).

I'm not suggesting anyone should stick with an inferior product to bolster small business. Their run at being internet providers is coming to an end.

Running fiber isn't really any more expensive than running copper, and they managed to afford to run the copper.
