Probably only because you are in $BIG_CITY, where they have a call center.
$COMPANY was the same way. One beeg honking call center that answers calls
from over 300 miles in all directions.

$COMPANY did hire a few ISP-ish type people, but one of them was a middle
manager for a software company. One of his underlings he hired from
Circuit City (*shudder*), in the computer department. Kid knows a bit. I
never got the chance to quiz him though.

Yet they terminated me with extreme prejudice. Completely ignored my
assessment on security (if it was a boat, they'd be at the bottom of the
lake[0]).

[0]: Not in those words, but the long drawn out explainations that explain
with immersive detail.
