Dan, Yes I am sure that your ISP is one of the best.

The point is that SOME of those local ISPs are not the best. They may even be poor.

Whereas ALL of the Tier 1 ISPs are the best, all the time.

When it comes to trading thousands of $$$, perhaps for a living, one shouldn't mess around trying to find local who MIGHT be great. We are talking $25 a month here. What's the point in trying to same maybe $5 a month when ONE TINY GLITCH can cost you $1,000 or more? Ans: It doesn't!!

Local ISPs are great for the market they serve: The 99% of the masses who simply want internet access. But preaching to extreme power users, who have thousands of $$$ at risk during the day, hanging on the thread of their ISP connection, about the possibility of saving $5 a month by using a local ISP rather than a proven high bandwidth tier 1 provider is silly. IMO.
