Everyone is entitled to make their own decisions and analysis. Everyone who has been doing dsl resell will tell you that, such business is a big drain on resources with little to no return. (There are many of us who have legacy business that we have kept going for other reason ) Most folks today who are doing resold services, and making money are 1) Telecom Agents / getting residuals commissions or MSP/VAR's who are adding their markup on the 'wholesale' price to make it worth while.
