Actually, we have been pretty happy with UUNet. The technical people seem
quite competent and their network is reliable and adequately provisioned.
Of course, YMMV.
Personally, I think most salespeople are worthless. What I want out of
a salesperson is an order taker and someone to send me information I
request. I don't want high pressure sales or making up facts. Our own
salespeople do this and it annoys me to no end, and I am sure that some
of our potential customers feel the same way and go elsewhere. I have been
known to go out of my way to avoid buying from a pushy salesperson, but
in general I don't hold it against the company if they have a decent product.
