No, that's not always the case with a service.  Neither my ISP nor my
work IT guys can read my data.  To accomplish this, I use an
implementation[2] of an anonymizing and privatization technique[1] which
is designed specifically so that even the nodes used /for/ the routing
of the traffic themselves cannot read the data.  Granted, I still do not
have complete control of my data to the final destination, however I can
ensure that it makes it well outside the management domain of anyone on
the near end of the connection that I don't want to see my data.
