At first, Level3 completely refused us. Then, they quoted us a rate
several times higher than either of our existing upstreams for
bandwidth. Even at that price, they refused to let us link to them
via wireless (requiring us to either buy easements or buy land
adjacent to their building, which sits on rented land).
