And this need for a service that can deliver in a professional manner was
my reason of leaving en.com.  Nothing worse than having to e-mail someone
a finished product just to have the service go down for two days, or call
in from a clients site on your laptop to download some drivers and the web is
down that day for your service.  It happened way to often for me.  I had to 
reprint all my letter head and business cards since this.  Under $100  so a 
small price to pay for service.

The one thing missing from the five points of an ISP is the ack of down time.
All services will have it. On gwis I get a page listing all the down time as 
well as e-mail telling me down-time will be coming or the reason for the 
short down time exp.  En.com would always just try and deny it, and sue would 
insist it would take too much work to set up a mail group to inform users why 
the system went down...  too much work for people who don't care...
