    Frankly, you should be concerned with your choice of Carrier. Also, there ain't NO double up with fedup. They go to great lengths to provide the all mighty "exclusive" use, which does not enhance the position of the O/O. I'd leave from Florida and head this way regardless. There are a lot of...
