I use ulaw and frequently have four or five channels active. Works fine 
over Speakeasy DSL, but over Comcast everything breaks up and falls 
apart, particularly with multiple channels active. I'm told by those 
whose opinion I trust that "Comcast business" seems to work OK. 

But this brings us back to wondering why there's a distinction between 
business service and consumer service Internet. I thought we were past 
that artificial distinction by now. I recall the days when the only 
difference between residential and business telephone service was the 
price. I'm not willing to carry that nonsense over to the Internet.
