In some jurisdictions there may also be additional regulations that cover specific services or utilities, that cannot be disclaimed away. E.g. perhaps water or electricity utilities. Not sure if this extends to internet utilities, TV, etc.
Here is a podcast [1] discussing a particular case of recovering damages from service provider that performed inspections of fire sprinkler systems. part of the argument was such services were some kind of core / essential service regulated by the state. One interesting detail of this was that the argument that fire sprinkler inspection services were subject to state regulation was a novel argument that hadn't been specifically covered in case law, and the service provider would NOT want a precedent to be established that they could not limit liability, so this was a significant motivating factor to settle quickly and pay damages.
Here is another podcast about limits of liability in service contracts [2]. A lot of the discussion is about burglar alarms that fail to go off & related issues.
