I've been on AlbanyNet for over a year now.  Although I've had
considerable connection problems I'm convinced it's at my end.

I'm a pretty heavy Usenet poster and the feed is extremely
fast.  I'll frequently see articles less than an hour after they're
posted, a big change from another site I've used where a few
days was the best you could expect.

The only down side, Usenet wise, is the rather rapid expiration
of articles.  I've seen articles two days old which were no longer
availiable, and I'm not refering to binary groups.  

You'll occasionally get busy signals in the evening but
there's so many lines it doesn't take many call backs to
get through.

I think their best asset is the support staff which is light
years better than others I've dealt with.
