I wasn't accusing, don't get me wrong...I just have a hard time understanding how companies that buy pipe can sell below the companies they bought from without compromise.

Bottom line is, the tough thing about hosting/bandwidth is that it is vaporware...the end user really doesn't know what he is truly getting...

Heh, you just saw me ream out Cogent, you think I'm gonna sell bandwidth for less than my cost? We'd like to stay in business you know.

But yeah, most of the time the end-user is caught up somewhere between the background techno music or the overflashy flash animations, and decide a nice site makes up for a shitty network.
