I am curious because that's my ISP and I haven't found problems with it.
This 1.5Mbps DSL link stays up 24/7/365, except for infrequent and brief maintenance hits, and it seems reliable to me, since I use it constantly, including for remote work at a website based in the UK. I did notice some months ago that Speakeasy's DNS servers in Seattle seemed to stop caching website URLs, so I'm running dnsmasq on my PC behind my firewall, and that appears to be working. Speakeasy has been owned by Best Buy (shudder) for a while now, but just as long as my line works and it doesn't hike my rate, I'm fine with that. So what's changed that is making you want to switch to another ISP?
