oooh, tiggy touch-wood here.

Um ,technically yes. With the exception that Connect and AAPT offer
quite different services (though some over lap - have I contradicted
myself yet?). Connect will actually sell you AAPT competitors products 
and in most circumstance I've dealt with connect, they have recommended
the AAPT competitors infrastructure.

I think the general dissemination is that AAPT are a wanna be telco and
Connect are a wanna be ISP.

Still it's a bfw.
