I completely agree with this. I had Speakeasy for 3 years and I loved the service. I was paying $65/mo for 1.5/768 with 1 static IP. They changed their rates and packages around, but they didn't mess with the previous offerings. I was very upset when I had to give up my Speakeasy DSL last month. The only reason that I switched was because Verizon modified the bundle and added 2500ft to the copper route. My signal was destroyed. That was the only time that I ever had outages. I had great service, good price, and intelligent people to deal with. I would highly recommend SE to anyone looking for xDSL. > Verizon will be cheaper for the speed, but their TOS specifically forbade > running servers last time I checked. Yes, they do. And they do not plan on issuing static IP's. EVER. They also do not have any sort of SLA. They are, afterall, Verizon. I will be quite interested to see the results of their new FIOS offering, though. 15Mbps synchronous fiber to the home for $60/mo. That could be tempting :-) Just my $0.02, Kenny
