  The problem is that you are helping to put the smaller ISPs out of business.
The ISP with the deepest pockets wins. When the competition is gone, who will
be left? Bell Canada and Microsoft. How do you or I benefit from that?
  [on the other hand, you are running the bill up for Microsoft, etc. up and 
maybe it will get too expensive for them]

  I did not know this. I understood you had an office.
