And keep in mind, if your business is smaller there is a lot less overhead so a
larger one will need to raise that minimum comfortable level.
The one thing you need to look at though, is if they received funding to
build-out DSL somehow. There are a lot of government funded grants out there.
We've been selling a loss leader dial up service for $5.99 for 10 years
