They run their IP department like a half-baked phone company. The IP guys seem to do a lot of reboots and such when it is unnecessary...pretty hard to deal with when you have a full BGP peer and 20mbits going through them...it is a ds3. We just ordered an OC3 from Uunet. Digex has been sucking big time since Intermedia and their West Coast path almost killed us 5-6 months ago. Their support, HOWEVER, is the best I've seen!!! I can name around 10 people there and they are really good when you are in a bind. I was really depressed and probably lost part of my longevity when I found I could not rely on Digex/Intermedia as a transport...still have a burstable ds3 through them. Just got our new Verio ds3 connected also...I'm hoping that Verio and Uunet will make our network rock!
