Seriously, working in the wireless business with lots of money, and the ISP business with just enough money to keep pace with growth, I have seen both sides of the coin. I completely understand the economic constraints of a small to medium ISP's and their struggle to make ends meet. On the other hand, I believe the large IAP's (almost all publicly traded companies) owe their subscribers only the best level of performance. Patrick J.
