It's one of the things I appreciate about the ISP I use at work being 
local.  Their first line are rarely that technical, do a great job of 
quickly and painlessly filtering out users with basic problems, and 
quickly escalate.  If needs be I have a direct phone number for the CEO 
and founder of the company, someone who is CCIE qualified.
