Store: Don't like shopping.
Internet Provider: I say, what? Oh, that. Dunno.

Food store: The Italian Supermercato around the corner from Roma Termini station, it had cheap beer, lovely food and Italian chicks that make you into a walking hard-on.

Internet Provider: Woosh

LOL. It does what it does very well indeed: travelling people from A to B quickly, safely, punctually, and, if you're lucy, cheaply. It is a essentially a bus service in the air, which makes it especially good: you know exactly what you will get.
Anyway, this is neither the time nor the place to debate this, so shut up old man.
