(groan) weren't you the one who said Mozcom had _lots_ of extra bandiwdth?

What hefty markup? The corporate pricing is almost equivalent (even cheaper
overall) with the prices of other bandwidth providers. Does this mean that
they also all have these 'hefty' markups? Why single out Destiny then?

1. If within the coverage area, instant connection. Not waiting 30-45 days for
the telco to connect a copper wire to your site.
2. No need for special equipment such as routers or CSUs
3. Cheaper in that there is no need to pay an extra buck to the telco.
4. Just try doing 10MBps over a leased line.
The advantages of cable over traditional leased lines is all over the net, it
doesn't have to be repeated here. And those advantages go for NOW, ZPDEE and
Destiny, no exceptions here.
(groan again) can we end this thread? i don't see any point to this kind of
pointless badmouthing.
