At the same price range as BSIS, they are _all_ lower rated. So the lesson seems to be the more you pay, the happier you will likely be with your provider. If you want mediocre quality, pick the middle of the pack. Sure, I'd like to see their quality improve, but that would mean charging _more_, not less, to get in line with the better rated services. -- Hal Burgiss
