Yes, you want fast, reliable, knowledable support...go with UUNet. name me one twink at MCI's technical staff/routing staff that knows more than the lowest guy at UUNet...I knew you couldn't. If your anywhere near a UUNet pop (hard not to be) or close to one of their major networks..Alternet..Sesqinet..etc you can't beat it! In 3 years of working/managing ISP's ...on a T1 level, I think I've encountered a total of 3-4 hours downtime. If you purchase hardware from them it all comes preconfigured saving you some time, 24hr support..thats REALLY there 24hrs, they know about the network problems before you do..and generally have them fixed before you get to the support department to report it. Their Usenet service is also great. I'd say UUNet is the 'plug and play' of I-Net connections. ..just my 2cents Ryan Schuermann http://www.nwpros.com/~ryan
