I've used them for shell accounts, UUCP, Newsfeeds, dial-up (SLIP, then 
PPP), bonded dial-up, leased line (frame relay), various speed DSLs, web 
& email hosting and co-location with Linux, BSD, Windows and Mac systems 
- even a Xenix box. They've cooperated with some of my more baroque 
network services designs. They've always given me sensible advice - 
including "I don't know, but I'll find out" - which is priceless. Being 
able to skip over the "yes, it is already plugged in" and "no, I don't 
have Windows on this box" questions - also priceless.

Needless to say, if I need Internet connectivity, they are the first 
option I consider. My recommendation - If you can, go with MV.
