It's all your fault :-) If you are willing to suffer working with a big (read: bloated) ISP, which is busy trying to be a big company on the Nasdaq with suite wearing 'executive board' and also does a night shift as a phone company BUT doesn't bother to serve your Linux needs and have a clueless technical support (all of this is from your description, not mine) then IMHO you should have switched ISPs long ago. I'm sure you have good reasons for staying with them or for going with someone like Barak. The question is isn't having a clueful ISP that doesn't waste money on suits and TV commercials and instead makes sure to support Linux and have cluefull technical support is a good enough reason too? Not trying to flame or anything, I just think that as a customer you need to be dictating the rules (in a resnoable manner, of course) and if they don't supply what you want go find someone else and also that if enough of us Linxu users will do the same all of the ISP will have to supoport us.
