9. The problem is, there's "slower"...
and then there's "asleep".

6. It's not slow service, it's high latency.

15. Have you considered the cost and reliability issues?
Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side, you know! Just sayin...

16. DS1 isn't all that.
You'll pay a lot more for DS1 and get only marginally better service than Matcom.

19. Yeah, DS1 hasn't outsourced it yet.
With Matcom you never know who'll be servicing your account.

17. History will show that it was the entrance of the female element into the scene the precipitated
the downfall of the group.

22. That's when I noticed a sharp decline in Matcom
and when they brought DS1 back I just knew it was time for a switch
