In the age of the internet, you can easily look up all of these things within a minute and have a rudimentary understanding of what is happening. Besides, you don't seem to be reading anything else I've said.This has happened before. People have tried. There is nothing that can be done on SE's side, next to nothing that can be done on your ISP's side. It comes down to Level3, who is a horrible company to work with, and do not take responsibility for their service. There are also next to no other options for service that a CDN or an ISP can do to change this.

The difference from your examples, and what is happening here, is that your complaints are public, and people will read them and stupidly follow without understanding the issue. When you file a complaint with a company, it's normally done on a private level, sans that screaming guy at Target. Don't be the screaming guy at Target. Nobody likes him.
