Well, I think the problem is that providers lock people in 1 and 2 year contracts so if people get bad service they are stuck. That is why I only have month to month service, if people don't like there T1 then they can quit. I think we need more providers to do that, I know of a lot users that are on providers that want to switch, but have 8 months left on their contract. Nathan Stratton CEO, NetRail, Inc.
