I would have to concur.

We have had long term billing issues with Qwest, MCI Worldcom, and most
recently Ameritech's DSL group.  They just seem unable to fix bills, and
duck it by shuffling the case around so you constantly talk to someone
new.  Our Worldcom folder is 3 inches thick with correspondence to various
people there in an attempt to get it fixed.

KMC has been superb in the billing department, and I must say that after a
few initial roadbumps, and some UNE issues, the service has been
excellent.
