And Speakeasy's dedication to ignoring residential customers is official (as if there was any doubt). I especially love these parts:

If we do anything for residential, we're going to need to find a way to bundle voice in there, and potentially other things with our new parent Best Buy
Later, referring to Best Buy:
They're basically leaving us alone and letting us execute.
You can't lay the residential issue at BBs feet while claiming they're leaving you alone, Bruce...
So not taking a loss to give a business class offering to residential subscribers is ignoring them?

And yes, they've left us alone as far as i can see.

At the prices Speakeasy charges residential customers, I can't imagine they're taking a loss. The "fees" alone should protect the profit margin.

I got a "business" class account from LB DSL for $30 a month less, 1/3 better speed, and better customer service. And Lightning is not the only good alternative.

Mainly it was referring to ADSL2+ service - to drop the prices to 'residential' prices would likely make them unprofitable and very possibly lose money.
