DSL Providors

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Raul:

While my email address doesn't reflect it, I am a satisfied speakeasy 
customer. My advice is to look no further.

First of all, speakeasy explicitly supports linux clients. They even have 
linux specific HOWTO files on their help pages.

You can certainly get static IP from speakeasy. I have several, actually.

The provisioning process was fully accessible. I was able to fill out the 
order form online, and I was able to set up daily notifications of 
progress on my order via email.

Best of all, I can tell you, after two months only of actual use, that 
I've been getting pretty much the bandwidth I'm paying for. I could not 
have said that about my former provider.

The only bad news, imho, is that speakeasy has recently rebuilt their 
customer support web pages with javascript. Not very lynx friendly, I'm 
afraid.
