Except that they block port 80 (and who knows what else).  I have been 
waiting for the business service for a while - I have their residential 
service at my house now (5 Mbps/2 Mbps) and have been waiting for their 
business offerring - good, I'll call them.  Too bad it doesn't come with 
any type of SLA.

So far (4 or 5 months?) I have been quite happy with the residential 
service except for the port 80 issue.
