Competition is good, but big is not always bad.

PHT goes through PSINet and we are very happy with them. The general
manager of PSINet here in Japan is an engineer and very Linux friendly,
too. Although we have yet to take them up on their offer, PSINet has
offered to provide some free services for the TLUG server.

BTW, I don't get a discount on PHT rates from PSINet for saying
this....
