I use them, and I like them.  When I first started up, I had a problem
and it took them forever to fix it.  My finger name is still wrong,
but I am not going to bother them to fix it (I have told them about
it).  It was the cheapest in my area and I really didn't figure that 
I would need much support once I was up and running, so I am not
worried about the lack of support.  The only real problem I have is 
that sometimes in the evenings, things seem to slow down.  I am not
sure if it is just me being impatient, my modem (I took one back to
the store), My house phone wiring (I did it myself), or them.  Things
do seem to work wonderfully on days like today that I am sitting home
snowed in!!!!
