Bunch of cowboys? I do not think so. I do not think they employ any
people at all. This is Verizon and the service is FiOS for both
telephone and Internet (and it would be television too if I had a TV
set). But there is no copper to the house, and the only alternative is
ComCast, the only service worse than Verizon.

My old ISP (that was dial-up or ISDN only) let me run all the servers I
wanted, and free static IP address too. But I had had it for dial-up and
FiOS just came available around here (about 10 years ago).
