And furthermore, one provider's off-peak is another's on. Our $eyeballs 
are predominantly students, so in the middle of the day on Sunday is 
when they're passed out or hungover from Jaeger Bombs and Jello Shots 
and not gaming or bingeing Netflix. Perfect timing for upgrades (with 
proper notification, of course.)
