And a "real PRI" has exactly the same issue. The only thing a real PRI has 
over the nontraditional PRI is that you ASSUME the company is larger and 
has experenced engineers to monitor the network.

I remember in Minnesota when MCI hit the local market. The sales guys sold 
to ISP's left and right. Their service fell flat on it's ass each time an 
ISP was connected. Next move, they disconnected exisiting ISP accounts and 
made the front page of the news paper and headline on the TV news. This 
was back in about early 1997.

Ratio information only assumes you think you're a better engineer than 
they are. Again as was pointed out, some customers might be grandma and 
the other a telemarketer.
