We changed to Pacific internet mid last year have have had no real
problems. Like the others said, there has only been a handfull of outages
and they very quick to repond. Speed seems to be good and we have a 1GB
download grace period on traffic on a 1.5MB link. We used their Alcatel
home modem on a Debian Linux router pc and had no problems setting it up
as they seme to be cluefull about linux (Most of their servers run
Debian).
