We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

My local ISP. They are not a monopoly, they are local only, they provide fiber and great customer service. You call and they answer instantly, they don't treat you like an idiot when you call. They don't restrict anything and you have unlimited data. It's very simple.

Last month T-mobile bought them after years of great service so I expect the enshittification to come any day now, but so far nothing has changed.

Mine too!

Still local, small time with a few thousand customers. They don’t upcharge internet prices if you skip linear TV.
All emplyees are local and I see them drive around.

I don’t care how good your pitch is, Mr. Salesman at my door: I’m sticking with what I’ve got!

I don't think I've heard of anyone who loves their ISP since the early days of transitioning from 56K modems.

It's increasingly rare.
