Why would anyone purchase dsl to run their business on. Let me guess, the
price was right.


I would call it a proven technology, but a very poor business model.
And xDSL is definately not for mission critical operations. 

And the list of failed local xDSL providers gets longer. Luckily
we stayed out of it, and are still in business as are our customers.
