ISPRIME are really a pain to deal with already, "send an email here, contact so and so, contact us back after, no eta", typical left hand not talking to the right hand. RCN you hop on icq, ask them to set up lighttpd and a new domain on a new ip and you get a message back 5 minutes later when it's done.
Couldn't agree more. They definitely had a very intimate and cool way of doing business and I respected them for that. I loved being able to drop them a message on ICQ to set up a new mail account or whatever and it was done within minutes. It was almost like having your own 24/7 admin on your payroll without the cost and a lot more reliable. Then this happened. I think they should reinvent themselves on a new network (not ISPrime.. maybe webair?) where they get a better wholesale rate so they can offer a more affordable price and make a bigger margin.
