I am a happy customer of rawbandwidth.com. I have never had to deal
with music on hold, Touch-tone mazes, email autoresponders, or clueless
Windows support weenies. On the two occasions when I had questions
("what are my IP addresses going to be?" and "Can you set up reverse
DNS?") I got directly in touch with somebody competent, Mike Durkin.

rawbandwidth.com uses Pac Bell's lines, but they _deal with Pac Bell
for you_.

Beaujolais to rawbandwidth.com!
