Mr M.... Are you brain dead or senile? What can the ISP do when Covad's
ATM network is oversold, and practically unusable 12->5 EST ?   OH i know,
we should all run our own dslam's, our own loops, our own fucking towns.

Most ISP's do try to do a good job.  Communicating with the ILEC is very
difficult if not impossible.
