Would appreciate greatly if you could help me fill in the short poll!

Nice survey, this project sounds interesting - please tell more!
Such bandwidth. Such I have AT&T damnit, my phone lines are squeaky clean.
I have AT&T U-verse and it's not bad. We haven't randomly dropped connection ever since we switched from Charter Communications.
Oh well, I guess my ISP is awesome.
Good luck on your project, interested to see more of it!
I've been hoping someone would start offering ftpmail again... Sign me up
