Recommended: Speakeasy

If you're looking for a DSL provider, I highly recommend Speakeasy. Here's why.

You know how you'll call an ISP and frequently find (through no fault of their own) that you know more about the problem then the person on the other side of the line? And then the two of you proceede to waste the next 20 minutes pointlessly rebooting a Mac OS X machine just to reset TCP/IP? I don't think that has ever happened to me at Speakeasy.

I was reminded of this last night when I called in and the rep I talked to didn't make me go through the tedious steps of "what OS are you running, did you clear your cache?" and such.

Based on the stories about people that have to deal with SBC, I'm glad I found these guys. We also have Comcast here, so it's quite a contrast when I talk to their reps. They're quite polite and mean well, but they're trained to handle only the highest level requests.
