I would personally tar and feather any sales rep who promises a certain

/24s from their 38.0.0.0/8 space willy-nilly, and I've had more than one 
conversation with a "refugee" customer who says "but...but...PSI gave me a 
/24!#@!#"...

I think they must have gotten the message, because I know a PSI customer
that was using close to a /27 when they went with them, and that's just
what they got, from 38/8...
