What should ISPs ASPs MSPs xSPs do?

Other than the usual damned if they do, damned if they don't; is there any
rough consensus about some practical things ISPs, ASPs, MSPs, xSPs
(and customers/users) should do or should not do?

Or is it just rough consensus what other people should do, but you'll get
upset if that rough consensus stopped you from doing something? Stop
stuff you don't like immediately, anytime of the day or night; but
give you years to fix your stuff even if it is hurting other people's
stuff.

It depends mostly on the environment they operate under which needs to
take into account the vagaries of their customer base.

You will need to define things a whole lot better to get rough consensus
on any specifics.

Act locally think globally is probably the best you can get otherwise.

I always make the assumption that I'm on my own and now one will help. If they do GREAT if not, sucks to be but I'm prepared. In a perfect world we all help others, but if the people paying any givens person paycheck have other issues tasked to higher priority levels then I can blame or fault them for not helping me.
