[kwlug disc.] Atria WiFi as ISP

[Insurance Squared Inc.]

The last company I would ever do business with is Atria.  It's all the 
beauracracy of the old ontario hydro government organization prettied up 
as a 'real' business.  Lipstick on a pig.

I was paying them thousands a month and it took me months and a ton of 
paperwork just to get another half dozen IP addresses - and even then 
they were trying to deny me because they didn't like my intended use of 
them (no technical reason, they were making business decisions about my 
business).  That's a bit of a rant, but think about what your reaction 
would be if your doing webhosting and asked for a couple more IP's and 
got that as a response :).

The short answer is they're overpriced with horrible service and 
bandwith that's not as good as what can be found elsewhere.  Stick to 
Bell or Rogers if you can.
