This sucks.  It just sucks.  Dammit, I feel like my ISP is making the 
painful transition from a decent organization that I could depend on to 
"Just Another Big Company" (tm).  If I wanted a Big Company, I woulda 
gone with AOL or something equally as crappy.  I'm bummin'.

What am I gonna do?  I dunno yet...

I'm sure there will be some corporate spin attached to it, like 
"Consolidation" and "efficiency".  I HATE consolidation, and I LOATHE 
efficiency.  :-\
