OMG!

Seems like you are not alone:

I'd switch at all costs.  A search for
broadband provider "New Jersey" (with google)
seems to indicate there are alternatives.

These three hits seem to be useful:

http://www.56k.com/isps/dsl/usa/nj.shtml

http://broadband.theispguide.com/urlfilter/state.New-Jersey/findcitystate.html

there are many more of course.
hope this helps
