Here is a model that may work for your area.  One of our local ISPs has been around for over 20 years, but here is the thing. They are a non profit society.  I used to get my internet from them but they have sort of turned away from people getting served by the big guys and have been concentrating on serving the rural areas where I live with wireless high speed internet through a private network of transmission towers. 

This may be a model that would work for your area. Something to consider. I know for me, I got DLS through them for 15 years and their rates NEVER increased, in fact I think the rates dropped once in that time period. (As a non profit they aren't allowed to actually make money)

Here is their website address if you are interested.  They are called Peace Region Internet Society.
