Chiming in again, I've never had an issue with blocked ports. Granted, I never have any pop or imap ports exposed (ssh tunnel), but 22, 25, 80, and 443 have always been open. My average bandwidth is only slightly lower than their advertised maximum. Their tech support people have always been helpful when I've had (my very few) problems, even after mentioning I run *nix; if they can't help, they usually know a fellow employee who can. (Two of their web servers run Linux and FreeBSD.) DHCP auth has worked seamlessly on all 5 of the operating systems I used with it, and let's me leave ppp support entirely out of my kernels if necessary. :) Even though I only have the dynamic IP service, I've had the same IP, through multi-month uptimes as well as power outages, since I started service almost a year ago. People (SBC customers) have told me I'm paying too much for DSL, but the level of service and the simple fact of never needing to talk to the phone company is well worth the extra money. YBMV[*].
