So far, so good, but I've only been on just under the week so far.
They were a tad annoyed with my comments {:-), but I think they were
valid as Netscape 4.77 has been standard on Debian Woody and RH8.
Apparently they test under Netscape 5 (which was the AOL version?),
Mozilla (works, but Moz is so slow on my systems) and Galeon.

Yes. The only advantage of buying the netcomm is that they know about
it.

The only thing that worries me on this is that they have continual
growth from 0Mb in March to 13Mb+ in June. Either download growth is
going to have to drop off or they are going to have to call its quits in
providing bandwidth.
They currently split the load between two upstreams for reliability as
well.
And they are discussing local file caching, games servers, etc atm. Umm,
I've not hit my online game server much since getting it, but ping times
are now 200-350ms, whereas before they were 450+, commonly over 500ms.
