Some, like us :-), are ISPs but with a specific quota on the number of
clients we want. This is done for two reasons:

i) Being an ISP is not (and never will be) our core business and
consequently any such facility has resources allocated to it only on a
secondary basis.

ii) With the limited resources we are prepared to allocate, we also
acknowledge that taking on hundreds of customers would render an inefficient
and generally unpleasant service. To that end, we maintain a ratio four 
modems per 64k of ISDN bandwidth.

In dollar terms, this means that we cannot and will not compete with the
$30/month guys but that was never our target market segment. 

Put simply, advertising would bring us more customers than we are prepared
to accomodate,
