I am looking for more understanding of this issue. Why do providers stop communication?
For... Money. They want to sell you on a high speed, premium package... but then not actually deliver it. They want people to pay $50 a month for premium speeds, but use no more then someone on the budget plan.

It's all about profit, not service.
