Since were talking details.  I work from home, and therefore have a vpn 
that's up for 8-14 hours a day.  Note, if it misses a heartbeat it goes 
down, hence if my dsl burps my vpn goes down.  It happens, but rarely. 
I've had very consistent connectivity and they actually answer the phone 
when you call them.  They always return email and provide solutions for 
any problems.

I've been pleased with my speed.  dslreports tests have always shown my 
connection to be above their top rating.  Just now, here it is:

2002-07-10 12:36:36 EST: 879 / 217
Your download speed : 879512 bps, or 879 kbps.
A 107.3 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 217924 bps, or 217 kbps.

I don't know why there was such a large difference between up and down, 
but that stuff is smoking.  What can I say?

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
