I had a thing with (phone) data company recently where they had a great offer for new sign ups. I called them and told them i'd move to another company if they didn't give me that deal, so they gave me the new people deal.

(let's not concern ourselves with the 2.5gig switch with 2x10 gig SFP ports i needed to buy so i could split the signal and maintain the eir phone service, the 10gig copper SFP, the two DAC cables, the 10gig unifi gateway...)
