Just to make sure everyone knows they suck, NSI just pulled the plug on a site a Dutch film-maker is using to promote a film critical of Islam.  Because, you know, "it might violate Network Solutions' Acceptable Use Policy'.  Because God er, Allah forbid he should say that a religion that effectively enslaves women, and seeks to enslave or kill all non-Muslims, is an enemy of freedom.

(Besides, they're afraid Islamic extremists might send them more complaint letters.)

We've thought about it in the past. Honestly, this area could stand a decent ISP - right now, it's Metrocast (cable) or dial-up. The catch-22 is that without customers, we couldn't afford to build the infrastructure, and without the infrastructure, we couldn't support the customers. We'd probably have to bring in connectivity all the way from Concord to get decent bandwidth.
