Piling on...

InterNIC says the domain was created almost a week ago, and expires in a year. 
The registrar is GoDaddy.  The owner of the site is located in the Dominican
Republic:

Judging by the site's purported function, it's nothing more than a front
for telemarketers, autodialers, and other ilk of the telephony industry to annoy
normal people with.  How can you claim five 9's uptime when your domain
isn't barely over a week old?  Well, I guess if the system hasn't
crashed within that first week.  But that's hardly a valid measurement,
unless you're comparing against Windows Millenium systems.

I call scam.

I think this type of abuse is well deserved due to the way he intended to
advertise his "business", so I'll add a bit of wood to the fire.
How about the sign-up form?? Some serious HTML design work going on there.

"legit"

WOW! I don't even have to call for support because when I have an emergency,
response is INSTANT. On top of that... they've also figured out how to
eliminate latency!!! Super duper!

But wait, theres more!!! They are interconnected with major US carriers like
QUEST!!! Not to be confused with QWEST... the little telco company that
misspells it's name to differentiate itself from the ULTRA MEGA HUGE telco
QUEST.
