Re: AOL? or best ISP

Let me note that we loose money on the installation fee as it is, 
seeing it includes $200 of Telstra costs plus a $400 DSL CPE device.

The blind leap is welcome, but I am not sure without some further 
thought about just what incentive we could offer for 12 months in 
advance (other than a note of sincere thanks :) ).

This product, initially at least, runs on paper thin margins.
