I've had amazing uptime.  They seem to have a little DNS trouble now and
again, but only longer than 1-2 hours one time I can remember.  I can't
say what factors control good vs. bad experience with them. 
dslreports.com has a wide range of ratings for them, from horrible to
very good.

I'm wired through a local verizon office, and not very far from it, so I
get 650-700k down.  The local telco probably has a large impact on how
your experience goes.
