There was a post on the list a couple days ago about ISP's that are
802.11b friendly. Someone recommended Speakeasy.

While Speakeasy 802.11b friendly, I'd recommend staying away from them
none the less. I've had problems from day 1 with their connection.  The
most notable being a loss of carrier for up to 12 hours every day. The
second being a switch to Verizon DSL at random with a different (yet
strangely static) IP.

I finally decided to try another provider today and was informed that
they would be charging me a $300 disconnection fee despite all the
trouble tickets and the logs I've sent them showing that they weren't
even the ones providing the connection half the times I logged in and
they had repeatedly breached our contract. Their reason was the fact
that the connection had not been continously off-line for 90 days. They
also recommended that I pay them $199 to reprovision the line, and then
if they found the line wasn't working they would let me out of the
contract. I'm fine with a fee to disconnect a working DSL line, but one
with obvious problems (they couldn't even connect in debug mode at
night) shouldn't require additional fees and a continued monthly charge
for the non-working connection.

I'm probably going to sign up with Cloud9, so if anyone has any horror
stories please forward them ;) If I hadn't been through the last few
months of horrors Bway.net would prolly be my first choice, but I'm not
signing up for another one year contract...
