Your "note posted below" with two pages of marketing baloon juice has been
duly noted.

Did you actually READ the substantive points of the original poster's
complaints?  Broken commitments to install dates followed by "we don't
know when we can get you service" is what I recall.  If complaining about
that seems to you "short sighted" perhaps you need to sit in the hot-seat
of an ISP that's trying to make ends meet and being refused service by
MCI.  Having Vint Cerf on staff or even on the board doesn't do a whit of
good for somebody who can't get a connection.

How about rather than dissing someone being refused service, you go to bat
INSIDE YOUR COMPANY and get him some facilities installe tout suite?
