I can vouch for this.  I tried Brokersys.com for a while because J-Mag
is a longtime friend.  They did fine in most respects except for news,
which comes from an outside news server.  I wasn't too happy with
their (the outside news server's) performance so I switched again.

There were no hard feelings on either side, and J-Mag has continued
to be a customer of mine for other services.  She's been a real
professional about the whole thing, and if I need another ISP (for web
hosting or whatever) I will not hesitate to patronize her company
again.

An organization can be rendered collectively stupid by corporate
policies, leadership, or culture which overwhelms the collective
intelligence (or exacerbates the collective stupidity) of its owners
and employees.
