I have been happy with the business class and it is cheaper than AT&T.
Been a lot more reliable also.  By the way AT&T DSL has a 150GB cap
unless you upgrade to the U-Verse, which to me was the same service at a
higher cost and 250GB cap unless you bundle.  I have only had one outage
over the past year and when I called I was given a repair time. Perhaps
one day they will loose the bad rep. 

I just need to get off my butt and change all my emails, which has
already made me stop reading my gmail account.
