Churches *are* non-profit businesses as such things go. I was more
expressing the idea that I hadn't *thought* about it at all and was
surprised because I hadn't realized that would happen.

And when I said "My church qualified for Portbridge DSL" I meant they
did their checks and our phone line qualifies to receive DSL with 3Mbit
service, not that anything magical about being a church was involved.

I will say I'm glad that Portbridge is willing to sell the "Residential"
service to churches.
