We have a line through Qwest now, and for the most part it has been rock
solid. I wasn't too impressed with the latency though, but I think alot of
that has to do with the silly way Ameritech installed the circuit. Since
it's primary purpose is for backup, this isn't a major problem for us.

I work for a different provider here in town, and they used Sprint, and had
alot of problems with that line - though, this was about 3 years ago. I've
heard alot of good things about Sprint myself, and they are definately a
consideration for our next line. You cant rule out the fact that sprint
most likely has much better peering arangements as well.

Just my take on it, I would probably try to pitch them against each other,
and get the best deal possible. :)
