I was a Voicenet user for a couple of years (again, about three years ago).  They had a lame news feed, poor e-mail service (there's *no* *reason* to lose e-mail in a store-and-forward environment!) and the kicker was when they lost one of their drives which had users directories on it and sent out e-mail saying, "Hope you all had backups, because we don't!".  Totally unacceptable behavior.

I moved to Fastnet after that.  The first time I called tech support was the first time I installed Linux.  It was around 1:30AM and I got a guy on the line who told me "Well, we don't officially support Linux" and then proceeded to tell me how to configure PPP, set up my hosts.allow/.deny files, configure Netscape and pointed me at Slashdot and Freshmeat.  *Far* above and beyond the call, IMHO.
