The problem with this is:

1. Users are not objective. They typically have experience with
only 1-2 providers so voting "their" provider as the best will
just be a popularity contest rather than an accurate representation
of which provider really has the best quality.

2. It's pretty easy for a provider - especially a small one with
not much real votes - to post fake votes to tilt the vote in 
their favor.

I do agree that user input/votes should be taken into consideration,
but it needs to be objectively measured so this doesn't turn into
a popularity contest. :)
