Most likely is. Let's just revise my ignorance to a speciality in
low-cost residential internet, okay? 'Cause I do know quite a bit
about that (despite the fact that there's not that much to know)

Nice. I still wish I had that kind of money.... as it is: I don't.

First of all, I'm a hard-core tightwad, and the cheapest guy gets the
contract. If no one is cheap enough, no one gets the contract. HE
impressed me with prices that were low, but still just above my price
range. <sigh...> Plus, they're the only company I know of that is
almost entirely dedicated to enterprise-class connections. They don't
offer any residential connections anymore (when I last contacte them,
that is)

Their sales rep spoke English. You have any idea how rare it is to
get someone who speaks English? With all the outsourcing going on,
it's amazing they still sell things in the US!
