My company is called 'Blue Spring Broadband'. I will not be changing my name. We offer dedicated connections up to 100Mbps, and more on a case-by-case basis (ie. I would offer 1Gbps near the NOC to anyone willing to pay for it). Although we do not offer more than 15x3 to residential currently, I still believe we can be classified as a broadband service provider. I happily give quotes on a 25x25 dedicated unlimited connection to any residential customers that ask for it ($1K/mo. roughly). Until some governing entity tells me different that is my stance.
