I have had MediaOne with a server and intranet in Waltham for about a year
and a half, and have never heard them complain.  I am running http, https,
ftp, telnet, ping, smtp, pop3, imap, run several mailing lists, and even
used setiathome for a while.

I have frequent (a couple every few days) of dropouts of less than a
minute, and about every six to eight weeks I will be down for an hour or
more.  Rebooting the modem usually fixes these when I can get to
it.  Since I'm running the mail server the down time has made me think
about switching more than once, but I have not found another option that
will give me easy Linux access and a domain name that you can remember and
type.
