Yeah, the moment that they mentioned they were going under, my
connection got flakier. I think Ops at Rhythms is now just a bunch of
monkeys rebooting the hardware.

I was told by a DT rep that my connection would be a 1.5/.5 connection
on the same IP but with ADSL service. If this proves to be stable and
true, I have no need to leave. If it turns out to be untrue, I'll jump
to speakeasy.
