Indeed. MV was one of the best companies I've ever done business with. The customer support GNHLUG gets (got) from MV *for free* was as good as anything I've ever been able to pay for elsewhere. I've never gotten anything better, even when paying through the nose. (In fairness to some other ISPs, I've had service just as good, but never better, and never cheaper.) They were also one of the oldest ISPs in the country, let alone the state. Mark Mallet is also one of the nicest operators I've ever had the pleasure to interact with. I remember Mark explaining how they registered "mv.com" with the idea that people in the Merrimack Valley area would want to hang subdomains off it, because of course people wouldn't want to be registering that many names at the second level, right? That's why their own business operations came from "mv.mv.com". This is a sad day. Top-notch operations like MV dieing out, while customer-hostile megacorps like Verizon and Comcast continue to rake it in. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
