I've seen a lot of bandwidth used up with what seems to be chronic complaints about service and performance vis-a-vis the bigger Internet providers, so I would like to find out the answers to the following question: If a new Internet provider came along who promised better support and improved server performance, as well as less busy signals, all at somewhat lower rates for service, would that be sufficient to move you from your current provider? If not, why not? It seems to me that if service, performance, etc., are as important as most people seem to suggest, then why doesn't everybody flock to whomever can do it better? Is there a value in staying put? Thanks for taking the time to reply! --ru
