Agreed. I was the first customer on my service, too...only game in town,
now Qwest and Comcast. I think it is an advantage to experience your own
product, just not necessary. The original comment was that it was 'strange'
for the CEO not to use his own service. I'm saying that it's not that
strange and not necessary, but it is helpful. ;)

Subject: Re: [WISPA] How many of you actually use your own service?
I was customer number 1 on my network. I still use my own connection to my
home. One of my ex-employees used to tell me he liked the fact that I "ate
my own dogfood". I always thought that was a humorous metaphor.
I think it is good to use your own service so you can see what the service
is like for your customer. If it works well then chances are your
customers are happy. If it stinks then maybe you need to make changes.
Monitoring tools are a good indicator of where you need to work on things
but nothing beats using it yourself in my opinion.

Recently I was emailed by another WISP in my area and I noticed the
CEO was NOT using his own service....Strange
So with all this being said, I was wondering... how many of you use your
own service?
