This must vary greatly by location. I have had Earthlink DSL in 
Evergreen, CO for several years, with only very rare outages. And I've 
never had the finger-pointing stuff you refer to above. Fast (nominally 
1.5 down, 384 up, with speed tests showing close to that) and stable. 
And I've found their tech support knowledgeable (yes, even about Macs) 
and helpful.

YMMV,
