They don't like to supply other ISPs. I've called before, and they asked if I was to provide access to others. When I answered yes, the guy said they don't provide access to "competitors". Which I think is a bunch of B.S. If anyone out there has a different answer from netcom, let me know. That's just what I was told by one of their reps.
