Yep. I have very few connection problems, and when I do, DCA leans on
Verizon to correct it (it's almost always Verizon's fault ...), and Tech
Support is quite helpful (altho they still haven't answered my request for
more Linux newsgroups; you listening, Andrew White? j/k :-), and the static
IPs are quite useful for connecting back home (via SSH) from work.
Some days I SSH into home, and do remote apt-get update/upgrades, and
upgrade my Debian box during the day, so it doesn't cut into my bandwidth
when I'm home and want to use it. And I do get 60K transfer speeds as a
general rule (on a 640/90 line).
