I would say that with standard "run of the mill" consumer service, the provider decides. If you want something custom, that would be reasonable to offer, but you should be expected to pay a bit more for that in order to maintain the non-standard configuration. Maintaining a different configuration for each user would be more expensive for the provider than a "cookie-cutter" solution that makes the internet a better experience for say 85% or more of the people out there.
