What sounds like "fruitless bitching" to you will serve as useful information for other people out there, who are in the process of selecting service providers.
No. The only way to offer a even remotly reliable view on whether or not an ISP is good/bad is to see the good AND the bad. I think I can speak for the majority of the list when I say that making nanog into a public bitch forum is the last thing we want. Take your gripes elsewhere.
This is a *open* forum that people bring realities like these publicly. You are entitled to speak for yourself, and if it sounds like what you inferred, you are subscribing to the wrong list. Just do a "unsubscribe". One of the intent of this open list is to make aware of realities of ISPs around, beyond the glare of the press and marketing.
Have you even taken the time to read the charter/aup for nanog? The first rule in the aup states that: Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues as described in the charter of NANOG. Not whether or not you think Exodus sucks. -RussB
And using words like "fruitless bitching" does not make your opinion more potent to anyone, unless they hold a lot of Exodus stock (: Do you?. Try to refrain from unnecessary language.
Take it easy RaviM
