[plug] ArachNet sale to AmCom...

[Adrian Woodley]

We've had some pretty bad experiences with AmCom at work. Their fibre
network is pretty useless, and I don't think they could find their own
collective arses with two hands and street directory. I wouldn't trust
them to plug a cat5 in the right way. I'll be looking to jump ship in
the not to distant future, as soon as I've sorted out a hosting
arrangement at work. Someone like Westnet will probably be on the cards.

(Any AmCom employees who're on this list, fix our fibre connection and
I'll take it all back).
