Do you trust last mile providers?

Ideally, if you could buy internet directly from tier-1 providers cutting out the middlemen companies: Verizon, At&T, Comcast, etc.. this would have some benefits to the consumer.. but do you really trust these companies to do right by the consumer? Not likely.

2 of the 3 you mentioned are classified as "Tier 1" providers. As far as other Tier1's (Level3, Global Crossing, etc) they normally are the exact definition of "middlemen" as in many instances they are in the middle of cheap wholesale (XO, Internap, Tiscali, etc) and Broadband
