My specific issue is a buried line at some point between my house and the next ISP demark. I did say "all the time", but that was hyperbolic. It only goes down when it rains or when snow is melting, which suggests a cable somewhere is cracked and water gets in and degrades the signal.
It happens maybe once a week in the spring, and is back as soon as I reboot the router.
But your assertion that just because a single person's internet goes down that the entire country's internet is not "the best" is childish and a reductionist argument.
