Why? Because they have a network, and 99% of ISP out there don't. We 
provide access to ISPs that only have a 56K Frame Relay and sell full 
T1's off of it. Netrail charges $22 a month for dialup, and we don't make 
a cent on it. It cost to much money to connect to MAE-East and build a 
network. Sure if you are a ISP and only get a small pipe to Netrail, 
UUNet, MCI or something you can get a much cheaper connection. If you are 
happy with your ISP, just stay most of the time when you go to something 
cheaper you will be sorry.
