been a member of this list for quite some time and just wanted to get us all a

get no perks or bonuses for people signing up, but our service is basically ‘Geek

DSL arena, however I think we provide better quality DSL service and support than
most ISP’s around here (we are all <span class=SpellE>techies</span> and
geeks, not customer service reps), and we are here to stay (unlike previous <span
class=SpellE>dsl</span> companies who spent millions of dollars on <span
class=SpellE>DSLAMs</span> and couldn’t recoup their cost / pulled out of
town).. We charge the installation because we don’t have special
contracts with hardware manufacturers like <span class=SpellE>verizon</span> does,
who gets their modems for next to nothing. I’d be happy to answer any
other questions that you shoot my way<span class=GramE>..</span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
