Hey Darrin,

You have an ISP, it's called Qwest. :-) Your ip addresses and the
access to the net is via Qwest's IP backbone.

For some people that's good enough, some others want different
(better?) network access via other IP carriers.

I have to admit, as an ISP that offers IP services over Qwest DSL,
it's a bit hard being competitive with Qwest when they offer access at
$9.99 per month (or free if you do xyz thing).

So we have to compete on other things. Ie - offer better net
connectivity - we have access to the Qwest IP backbone and 6
others... If Qwest is having IP problems locally, you won't notice
with us like you would with them (not to say there are lots of
problems). If you like better (the best?) Usenet access, then you'll
want to come to us.

:-)

Darin
