CAIS apparently just sucks. I couldn't even get the idiots there to return my phone calls saying "I WANT TO PUT MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS" (as a DSL reseller), after several calls to their salesdroids from both myself and one of the senior Business Development executives at Covad. I was then informed by someone who had used them that their support was nonexistent - and I believe it. If they won't return calls that generate direct revenue, why should we expect them to return calls that don't? Other situations may be different, but I concur with Mr. Palmer's assessment of CAIS as incompetent. -- Tired of Earthlink? Get JustTheNet!
