Been running consumer for over a year and now business grade with 5 ips 
for about 6 months.  Not a hiccup.  Since it's Bell/New England 
Telephone/BellAtlantic/Verizon I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I pity my inlaws who struggle with 2 second propagation delays and not 
much better than phone modem speeds over a satellite dish.

Only problem here was when installer set up the business service with a 
fixed ip address.  The failure to connect problem went through several 
engineers before I offered to lend a hand.  Took me a few tries entering 
the same IP address before light dawned on marblehead: the first octet 
read "270".  The installer suggested that somewhere along the way a 
"dyslexic" gummed up the works.
