That company really needs a better website.

They're probably using Microwave or Satellite for access.

First of all, 1290 Central Parkway is the "Aspen" townhouse complex on 
the southwest corner of Burnamthorpe and Central Parkway, directly 
across the street from the Valleys Senior Public. Hardly what I would 
expect as a head office for a "National" ISP. Secondly, The registrant 
is using a rogers.com email address. He doesn't even use his own domain 
for email? Thirdly, his website looks like it was put together by 
someone more comfortable with crayons than with a computer. Sounds like 
a winner to me. ;)

Ack. Scratch that... 1290 is actually down the street a mile or so along 
Burnamthorpe, across the street from the Erindale Go Station, but the 
rest of my comments stand.

Added to the fact that their domain is hosted with sdcix.net, which is 
among the crappiest hosting/ISP you'll ever find.
