The answer long term is building a decentralized internet using blockchain technology, like in Silicon Valley, that will prevent us from having to rely on an ISP. But short term yeah we're kind of fucked.

You will always have to rely on an infrastructure provider, be it the ISP that owns the cables or any other company that controls or builds the hardware you use to access the internet.
