CAIS apparently just sucks. I couldn't even get the idiots there to return
my phone calls saying "I WANT TO PUT MONEY IN YOUR POCKETS"
(as a DSL reseller), after several calls to their salesdroids from both myself
and one of the senior Business Development executives at Covad.

I was then informed by someone who had used them that their support
was nonexistent - and I believe it. If they won't return calls that generate
direct revenue, why should we expect them to return calls that don't?

Other situations may be different, but I concur with Mr. Palmer's
assessment of CAIS as incompetent.
