He'll be out of business soon. You did the right thing. That's one of
the worst small business stories I've heard. I find most of them
sympathetic to small businesses like themselves, not hostile like you
experience.

I wish them "best of luck".

After another discussion with this fellow this morning, and him stating
quite clearly, I've allowed, and I am only paying  for the following;
30 minutes to remove the server at the old office. 
30 minutes to drive to the new office. 
1 hour to install the server put the modem card in and get it all
working.

When I said, the install + config is going to take longer then 1hr.  I
was
accused of "Attempting to rip him off", as the ISP told me "peice of
cake"
to configure, he claimed 1hr was ample time.

I said "Thanks, but No thanks, I suggest you find someone else".

His reply was un-printable.

I never cease to be amazed by the problems small businesses make for
them
selves. I worked out this morning, that the dial-up with fixed IP +
dynamic cable, would work out to $29 / month cheeper then a no data
limit
512/512 ADSL with a fixed IP. The initial setup cost of the ADSL 512/512
+
an ADSL modem, would be $31 more than the the setup for the Dialup +
cable
service.

Unbelievable that they are skimping at this level....
