But with tunnel brokers starting to shut down that service that looks rather
bleak as well.

Since it is pretty much the largest ISP in this country, I dont think they will
go away anytime soon.  They and the other big two ISPs tend to control the
market, and either surpress, or buy out startups.  Even though I am no longer
with them, I still have to use their lines, and switches, and they control how
big a bandwidth I get or the speed at which I can transfer files.  


 MV> You made the right choice.
