the years.

Maybe it’s because I live in Canada … but who is JAB? Never heard of
them so curious….
250-350k subs is “mid sized” in the ISP world from my viewpoint/opinion

They are definitely small time....just look at that logo and wood
background. They are working hard to appear like they are the small
local provider. Just the same folks in our community....
"Rise Broadband shares the same values as you. We’re right around the
corner, up the street and down the road a ways."

Just want to point something out real quick...
A lot of people on this and other lists talk about JAB like they
are some kind of massive, rolling behemoth with a gazillion
subscribers and trillions in the bank. The kind of place that has
it's own militarized security forces, Ferrari's for interns,
crispy creme every morning, and hands out Sam Adams during lunch.
Okay, maybe not that extreme, but anyway...
To put things in perspective, if you were to talk to anybody who
works at an actually large ISP or Carrier for that matter, "JAB
is tiny".
JAB is literally the size, speaking purely by number of
customers, that many ISPs have in a few mile radius.
I understand that they cover a fairly large area, and that some
manufacturers in our industry will even " bend the knee " to get
their business... And maybe rightfully so...
But yeah, 250,000-350,000 sub's to many ISPs is a tiny drop in
the bucket.
