Their customers CAN'T Turn them down.
In most places its either a monopoly or a duopoly.
In the monopoly scenario, THERE IS NO RUNNING from your ISP unless you somehow believe you can ditch the internet without consequence.
In the duopoly scenario, you can run from your ISP to another ISP who is either:
A. Doing the exact same thing
or
B. Doing the exact opposite, at an insane price

Well, With how many states are suddenly voting blue, hopefully congress will pass a law akin to Net Neutrality.
