This violates my perception of my ISP as a dumb pipe. I want to pay a fair price (whatever that may be) for an internet service provider that exists only to connect subscribers to the internet, at reasonable speeds near their advertised rates.

Sonic.net does that. I don't think it's available in too many areas, though.

Try business class service.

    Business prices seem to vary a lot. I've heard $20/month more in some cases and 4x more in others. Also, once consumer broadband becomes capped, business service will probably be cheaper than paying overages.

The entire telecoms industry is digging everything it can into absolutely not being that. It's entirely not a market they want to be any, as it's a commodity service and therefore yields poor profit.

Start your own ISP and make it a dumb pipe.
