Go even one better - the Flock browser. Bookmarking = delicious or shadow account posting, with the added bonus of matching your typical Ctrl-D keystroke. You can post untagged, or Flock has a builtin form for capturing description and tags. Oh yeah, and the search box automatically searches through your favourites and bookmarks, along with the selected engine. Caveats - it's still alpha, unstable, etc. But so far, so good.
Actually, if your ISP is also a local telecommunications company (a CLEC or ILEC), it's not their legal right to deny service to anyone. A CLEC can (and will) quite quickly lose their license to provide services if they fail to provide equal access. This has often been the case with small FTTH (fiber to the home) initiatives - instead of the expected 15% market share, they had demands for service from 85-90% of the customer base, and went bankrupt attempting to provide the service!
Bottom-line: If you've been disconnected, and your ISP is a CLEC, file a complaint.
