They're not a great backbone company, given that they're singly homed

through Cerbernet. Odd that their parent company hasn't given them any

bandwidth if they're such a huge player (who are they, exactly - world

callnet never gets mentioned on NANOG?).

Other than Scan Computers's gofree, which other ISPs do they host? I can't

imagine they're making millions from GoFree.
