True. But the value proposition sold to our client was improved 
performance at reduced cost. They have got the opposite :D

That's a ballpark (but representative) example figure for total voice 
call cost, as I won't hand out actual figures for a client on a public 
list... SDSL is ~260 pcm

If you reckon you can offer better service and prices than Mistral I 
will be interested, so I'll contact you off-list.

What I value about Mistral is their response to problems (24x7 with 
engineers who know one end of wire from other). They are certainly not 
perfect :)
