Yes, this has nothing whatsoever to do with technology.  Just money.  The
question of whether you feel like trusting your business to someone you're
giving $1500/month, or whether you feel like trusting your business to
someone you're giving $150/month.  Or $29.95/month.  TANSTAAFL.  You get
what you pay for.

And in my own opinion, NANOG isn't the forum for whines from the
$29.95/month crowd.  Of course, others seem to disagree.
