DSL Provider Recommendations

[randy at randyrathbun.org]

I have DSL.net. You may want to think twice about them as they made the FC
website last year so are apparently not doing too good financially (like
that is any surprise!)

The line itself is good. The DNS guy they had last August when I switched
to them is a bozo so be prepared to do a lot of complaining - took him a
week to do something that should have taken him 5 minutes. Plus his "I
will call you back in 15 minutes" has now turned into an eternity.
