Gas stations:

tell me the actual price up front
can provide enough product for local traffic
have a real person available to help, standing right there
give me the opportunity to shop around on price, brand preference, favorite color plug things.

My ISP:

10ish mbps when we feel like it
itll probablly be less than $100, probably
take it or leave it bub, or gtfo

Don't forget the random charges for a few bucks that they stick on all the time banking on people not bothering to call and bitch about it because an hour on the phone isn't worth it for ~$5.
