I agree. I have been by and large happy with speeds, uptime etc for over a 
year - though I do find this ACNAME issue very frustrating after I bought a 
router.

I wasn't so happy with the customer service people. You feel like talking to a 
machine and at times have to act as if you are following all their 
instructions such as unplug the card and place it back, click on xyz icon and 
what not! If you don't, the conversation would just get stuck there. And if 
you say Linux it will just end!

But we can't really get people with networking knowhow on the line. I'm sure 
it will be hard to get answers to above class of queries from any ISP's 
customer service.
