Dennis,

Duh.

We get it. Well, most of us anyways.

There is a difference between residential, business, and commercial
internet.

Price for service comes to mind.

You typically do not get 100 megabit or faster w/BGP4 service for $50 to
$100 a month.

Duh.

Tell me, just how is it that people "in the know" would even consider that
residential internet equals commercial internet?
