I don't know Greg's reasoning for that statement but it does seem
rather wrong to me. Would you judge a waitress on their choice of
shoes? Of course not, you'd
judge them based on their service. Would you decide on who to hire to build you
a fence based on what kind of screwdriver they use?

Why would you choose an ISP based on what tool they use to provide you with a
service?

See how their service has been in the past and if their service meets
your needs,
that's all there really is to it.
