Interesting company. I saw their '20Mb/s" xDSL DSL offering which
looked rather tempting. I filled out their form, leaving my contact
information.

I figured I'd get an email back or some such. Nah; they just called
me. (Although they show up on caller-ID as (517) 999-9999.

After verifying who they were talking to, all they said was, "We would
_not_ be able to do your address."

I don't know what to make of it; most places would set up an automated
reply for that kind of information.
