      MSGID: 1:229/426 F91E8068       On 08 Sep 19 12:40:06, Sean Dennis said the following to Ward Dossche:              SD> WD> Overhere that would mean, due to competition, by the 12th       SD> WD> every singleone of their customers would've switched and       SD> WD> they'd be broke.       SD>        SD> Unless Dallas is in the situation where I am: there is but one single choic       SD> for an ISP in my area (there is satellite access        SD> but that's unreliable). You either get access through this company -- in m       SD> case, it's CenturyLink -- or you go without. CL is               I'm not sure if I mentioned, but Canada is ruled by three major ISP        monoplies; Bell, Rogers and Shaw. All three do not give two shits about       rural customers and have their hands in the pockets of the government. It does       not matter if you go with a smaller ISP; in the end, the lines and uplink are        eventually leased from the big three.              Unless you have a business-grade connection, you are at the mercy of whenever        they feel like fixing whatever line problems you have.              Nick              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
