How good is AlbanyNet?

I've been using Global 2000 as an Internet service provider for about a
year, and although they've improved their service in many ways, they
continue to have problems with their Usenet newsserver.  Their newsserver
is always missing articles -- very often, I'll see responses to articles
that never arrive.  (When I go to Alta Vista to search for the missing
articles, I find a LOT of them.)  On occasion, the server doesn't let me
post articles, due to some internal error.  This is unacceptable, and
Global 2000 seems unable to solve the problems.

So now I'm shopping around for a new service provider, and AlbanyNet
appears to be a reasonable choice.  If you use AlbanyNet, how happy are you
with their service?  Do you ever get busy signals or dropped connections
when you dial in?  How good is their Usenet newsserver?  Do you ever seem
to miss articles from a thread?  Are there any other problems you've had?

Thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions.
