This was about a year ago, maybe things have improved since then.. on the
old dial-ups, I was lucky to get downloads of 3k/s on a 49k connect..
where with other ISP's, I was able to get 4-5k/s all the time. Of course,
I stuck with Sihope because they would route me a /28 over a dialup.. :)

Hmm... mr.net, you mean? :) That's why we've got a Sprint T1 now.. funny
thing, ~90% of our traffic goes out that connection.. you would think
mr.net would be the better route since they are multihomed better, but
nope..
