We've had speakeasy's DSL at our house for around two years now, and they've been a pleasure to work with after dealing with the cable companies. They like linux/unix users, they have statid IPs, they don't block ports, and they approve of running servers. They also encourage "reselling" your link by sharing with neighbors, and will even set up a multi-user billing procedure for you if you do the wiring/wireless and local admin stuff, essentially making you a small distributor. But mainly, the few times I've had to call customer support, I've found myself talking to someone knowledgeable and helpful. -- _, O John Chambers <:#/> <jc at trillian.mit.edu> + <jc1742 at gmail.com> /#\ in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA, Earth | | ' `
