I completely agree with this. I had Speakeasy for 3 years and I loved
the service. I was paying $65/mo for 1.5/768 with 1 static IP. They
changed their rates and packages around, but they didn't mess with the
previous offerings. 

I was very upset when I had to give up my Speakeasy DSL last month. The
only reason that I switched was because Verizon modified the bundle and
added 2500ft to the copper route. My signal was destroyed. That was the
only time that I ever had outages. I had great service, good price, and
intelligent people to deal with. I would highly recommend SE to anyone
looking for xDSL.

Yes, they do. And they do not plan on issuing static IP's. EVER. They
also do not have any sort of SLA. They are, afterall, Verizon. I will be
quite interested to see the results of their new FIOS offering, though.
15Mbps synchronous fiber to the home for $60/mo. That could be
tempting :-)

Just my $0.02,
Kenny
