I figured this was inevitable: a new ISP, one that guarantees net neutrality, has begun service.
The ISP's name is Copowi (short for Community Powered Internet), and currently services 12 Western and Northern US states ("Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and California", according to the article).
Although the service is a bit on the expensive side ($33.95/month for a 256Kbps DSL connection), and despite a somewhat shaky business model (Copowi leases lines from major telcos and doesn't have its own "last-mile" lines), it does show that the market can (and does) answer the demand for net neutrality.
