What reactionary blather.
That post was so pathetic, it doesn't deserve the energy it would take to point out how mistaken it is.
Reminded me of the malcontent rabble that circled 'round the recent EFN troubles like flies too late even to help clean up the blood--rabble that got the word six months back about how deep the crisis was, but didn't start buzzing till the gates were already closed.
Subscriptions to efn STILL stay in the community.

But I'm with him: even though qWest has their finger in the pie, it's in efn/opn/epud's oven, and that smells much sweeter to me.
You think being an efn customer (yes, customer) has any impact on OPN at this stage? EPUD and CMC are here to do business, not support and subsidize the community as efn once did. Their support of OPN involves a commitment on OPN's part to do a lot of work with basically no guarantee they'll see any financial support for it. EPUD purchased efn's name and userbase because it gave them a brand with instant brand loyalty. They hired Ray because many of efn's customers who aren't loyal to the brand and the lingering sentiment of a community organization have stayed with efn because of Ray.
efn is basically like any other ISP now, except that people remember what efn used to be. I'll send people there looking for something a little faster than a modem for about the same price as an ISP and phone line (the DSL package you noted) because it's about the best deal I've seen. I'll send people elsewhere for dialup, and yet elsewhere for fast connections.
