That is really, really sad news. I had RapidWave for a couple of years. Their network terminated at Tier4, then C7. I basically pushed the pipe full-blast all day long and never heard so much as a peep out of them. Due to their optimal local network setup I had 4ms to the work VPN. It was basically like being there. SSH sessions were a dream. The only downside was restricted bandwidth options. I couldn't give Digis a similar evaluation. Recently I've been happy with Comcast. Despite their questionable business practices, the actual product is quite functional. I just got upgraded last night and tested a solid 55Mbps down and 10Mbps up. 40ms to the work VPN. I've had a few minor outages. That's a typical issue with them it seems. Of course with all things Comcast - YMMV. You may want to check out CenturyLink's FTTN service. My understanding is that they have (finally) figured out how to do it right. Though I personally had an experience with them that made Comcast look deserving of a customer service award by comparison. Good luck with the ISP search! It is always an adventure. -Ryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
