	Hum.  I take ~4 calls each day for things that are some other
	ISPs problem.  Folks are -politely- told that the issues
	are either with their ISP or someone upstream of their ISP.
	When they get pushy, I offer them a service contract. 99.999%
	(hey Sean, there are your five 9's!) of them then choose to 
	work with thier ISPs.  I suspect that you have more than enough
	clue to never have to give me a call, but if you do, be prepared
	to be re-directed... :)
