But no matter where your bill comes from, your copper and your badwidth is provided by verizon. You will get a more clueful tech when the CO has an "unplanned" power outtage. You might get a discount, but guys, all the resellers do is resell verizon. They mux and de mux signal, but they don't have any thing that verizon doesn't when it comes to physical. Both backbone and last mile is verizon. pinkee -- www.cavegirl.org www.mydarlingchild.com "Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundie and sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him" Crash Test Dummies Attachment:
