That is some bullshit.

They're both assholes.
Which one doesn't smell quite as bad as the next?

Then why would they offer a 30Mbps package?

Anyone remember when valve was working on its own internet service.... or maybe they were contracting out to a 3rd party to do it. I do not remember what it was called though? I wonder what happened with it?
