     If you were running this ISP  or any other Cleveland-based ISP on 
the west coast or in the NYC area you would be run out of town because of 
the high prices  providers charge.   I see many providers that provide 
PPP for as little as $15 a month, flat rate and no hour limit, in 
addition to WWW and FTP space.    As far as I know, the ISPs here in 
Cleveland don't even allow the usage of TIA.
