   I'd think that is common everywhere.   
      
   Here I am linked to a Wimax-like ISP that seems to have built their   
   service with duct tape. It is a very small company with not many   
   employees. They don't even have an ASN. They just NAT all their users   
   and inject them into the network of a big telecom.   
      
   I am actually quite happy with the service.
