I pointed that out in my wal-mart analogy. Sure the mom and pop know their shit and wal mart employees are clueless, but at the end of the day the mom and pops are still bankrupt and wal mart is still growing.
Brad has to justify his higher prices, you have to justify paying his higher prices, that's why you're in here having this discussion.
If nothing else the cut rate hosts are a blessing to you as well, because they're the reason hosts like mojo have had to cut their prices from $150 to $15 per meg over the years.
Hosts like AR and Choopa are to natnet/mojo/techiemedia what cogent was to level3 and gblx.
Cogent is definitely lower quality, but it's still more than "good enough" for what most people are using it for....and it forced the prices down on the higher end stuff.
