The ISP I work with in fact uses UUNet as a backbone connection. All I am saying is that a local ISP may very well be just as good (and give you better customer service, since you are not just a cog in the machine).

I think you miss the point. SURE what you say is TRUE. A LOCAL ISP **MAY** very well give you excellent performance. The POINT IS that a Tier 1 provider **WILL** give you excellent performance and bandwidth.

Everyone needs to make up their own mind. Me? When I an executing trades amount to thousands of $$$ I am not about to futz around with some stinking $25+/- a month connection. I'm not about to waste my time trying to save a few bucks a year trying out various local ISPs. ONE bad connection at anytime might cost me $1,000.
