My point, you haven't the foggiest idea what my business is and yet you have
the cajones to make judgements against it in public.

DSL has been very reliable. Moreso than some client's T1's have been. The
outage was caused by a business failure between my IAP and my ISP. All I
know is that the lights went out on 7Feb01, without warning. DSL behaves
like a dedicated circuit and 1.1Mbps SDSL is close enough to 1.54Mbps T1, at
1/4 the price, to make it worthwhile. Additionally, you don't have to tune
the link and it doesn't need to be hand-rebooted when the CSU/DSU drops (all
the things they don't tell you about T1's). You've been listening to too
many telco sales-droids.

You started the name-calling son ... and this victim doesn't appreciate
being made into a criminal. If I'm an ass then you're a judgemental ass...
and an ignorant one.

Not broken ... done on purpose. My poor DSL connection isn't that reliable
so I want to make sure that you get the message. I wouldn't want you to
think that I'm talking behind your back.
