They will not. They say that the premium package has a lower upload then
the Deluxe package. If you read the website it looks like the same 
upload; I mentioned this, but they weren't willing to admit that. 
He also stated the that Premium gives up up to 3Mbps. I mentioned that 
the website stated 3-5Mbps. He didn't believe that either.

When an objection cannot be made formidable, there is some policy in
trying to make it frightful; and to substitute the yell and the 
war-whoop, in the place of reason, argument, and good order.
