RE: [Plug] Voicenet [Was: DSL]

We're presently on FastNet. Problem is, they don't support DSL. Hence, we
have to switch as we can get an 1.1 Mb/sec SDSL line for the same amount as
our 56K Frame Relay.

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.
