|
| So lets try and not use words like evil empire when they don't apply :)

| Speakeasy used to offer great service and unless there is evidence
| that their quality has gone down since the acquisition, let's not jump
| to conclusions.
|
| As far as good service, I can tell you which service NOT to get -
| RoadRunner/Time Warner.
| I friend of mine has their business DSL package and at least 4-5 times
| a week they have switching issues making his servers unreachable. This
| has been going on since they day he got the service and they have done
| nothing to diagnose/address the issue (over 4 months now).
|
| My 2 cents.
