Different companies want either dirt cheap pricing and maybe not so great connectivity or great connectivity and maybe not so great pricing. What you have to do is detail what you want out of your provider, remove the things that you will never find in the real world (key point there) and THEN people can give you recommendations on who can match those requirements. (Don't believe sales or marketing wrt to service promises.. only experience. Sales etc only provide a guide line.) -Wayne
