The connection speed is good most of the time. The daytime service is ok. The nightime service is non-existent but what do you expect from the price (review 1st tier providers price for a T-1)? They do not tolerate SPAM at all so if you are adding new customers who have to be dealt with make sure you have an administrative staff that can do it in a timely manner because they will do things like: 1. Put a filter on you without warning and wait for you to call the next day. They like to put the filter on on Saturday night...that can really kill a business. 2. Tell you you have to cancel xyz client now and not forward you the "proof" even when asked to. Of course this will not be a problem for you as long as you are not growing too quickly...
