For a lot of people, it is always possible to vote with your wallet.

If a provider is too restrictive for you, choose another one.  I pay my
fees to the ISP I feel is worthy to have me as customer.  So if they
want my money, they must please me.  But I am also willing to pay a bit
more to a competitor who can fulfil my demands if my current provider
does not deliver according to the agreement and my expectations

Of course this is not possible in places where there are only one
option.  But then try to approach, if possible, other ISPs anyway, to
see what they can offer you.


kind regards,
