ISPs are generally all equally as bad (except for Spectrum. They're probably the worst.). I stay with my ISP because they've never once complained about any of the torrenting I've done.

And where are they based?

That's true for the larger ISPs, but the smaller ones can be a lot better. I use a small ISP and their prices are far better than the big ISPs, plus their support is really good. Some cities have municipal fiber internet (where the city runs it) which is usually great as the city's motivation is to provide a good service to residents rather than to make money off of it.

Not to shill, but this is the primary reason why I've stayed with FIOS for the past few years. That and the fact that there are no contracts, it's just a flat fee, forever. No promotion period or anything, either.
