Scott:

I switched away from Valunet about 2 years ago, back when they were being
spam blacklisted.

I moved to Covad.  Now, before you roll your eyes.....  Yes they are a
nation-wide reseller...

Having said that,  I've had only one outage in that two years. And that
was for a over-zelous backhoe operator at the C.O., not from poor network
admin.

Covad also have a person on the other end of the phone - 24x7x365.. and
they -are- cluey.

I also have a static subnet, all aliased to a single interface... no
MAC-IP conflicts.

The -only- bad thing I can say about Covad, is that although they have a
static subnets, it is negotiated via PPPoE in there modem.  On the upside
to that - I have admin access to said modem. Still a great service
though.

Cheers;

E!
