I sometimes find it hard to comprehend the attitude of some suppliers.
"Yes, we've got a service, that we might be able to sell to you, but we
can't publicly tell you anything about it".
If the supplier doesn't wish to make that information public themselves,
then I don't see that there can be a problem with their customers publicly
saying how much they're paying/where they're connected/etc, as long as
their contract with said supplier doesn't contain an NDA covering such
information.

That would be very useful, thanks!
