What sets it apart

The only cooperative we found: carriers own it, so pricing is set to cover costs rather than profit, and members get year-end dividends. It publishes a starting rate under 2.20% with no setup fee, no monthly minimum and no long-term contract, but not the rate a small carrier should expect.
