Well, if you are reasonably skilled and you get the chance to travel it is still fun to test new isp's. I had a blast testing on Metrocast awhile back. If you have a troubleshooter's mindset and you really enjoy a challenge and you don't mind endless hours of reading then give it a shot. If you are the instant gratification type then you shouldn't even waste your time. This hobby is a tremendous pita now in most US ISP's. That being said, it's still 100% possible to take a modem out of the box and get it to do what you want...
