Hi Keith.

With about 500 phone lines throughout our grid that AGT services for us,
some 6,000 customers, and with all the data lines that we rent from AGT,
are we, in your opinion:

   1. A small, medium or large ISP?

   and

   2. Are you saying that AGT will service themselves before they service
us, and therefore should we move to some other carrier that isn't in the
ISP business, and forget about the AGT Alberta Advantage?? As a loyal
customer, and a self-respecting ISP, I was wondering if we now can expect
to see otherwise excellent AGT service levels fall just because you want
to prove your point outlined above.

   3. Are you spying on us in some evil and insidious Telco fashion to
discover "other information about their (AGT) competitors"??

  just wondering.....

regards
