Even though I hate Starlink, it would be an option.
What I would do however is try and ask my neighbors. If neighbors don’t work, I’d just hack their Wifi.
Another option would be to contact other ISPs and tell them your neighborhood/village/city is ready for an alternative. It’ll depend on many factors whether or not this would be successful, but I have seen it happen in the past. Just takes a few different households to contact them and they’ll start doing market research.
Getting somebody with a different last name to try and get a new contract would be possible too. But it could be considered fraud.

It’s insane that people (okay, mostly corporations) try to argue internet access is not a utility. What happens then? Does your home value decrease? Or does the next purchaser have to petition the ISP to convince them they are a different, non-infringing customer and hope they reverse the ban??

This happened in the apartment I just moved into. I had to call to verify my identity and they had to unblock something on their side due to the previous tenant ostensibly not paying.

I’m guessing it would be tied to your name. the new tenants would have service, but you might have to move to a different state or something.

Yup, but in our case, I think it’s my phone number (at least that’s what they use for my account number). So I could probably sign up again if I change my number.
