So, I've been with my current DSL provider for over 6 years now.. through several moves and it has always provided great service. A little pricer than most, but I get a bridged DSL (no PPPoE), static IP connection with no restrictions and the blessing of the provider to run servers and share wireless with neighbors.
Today, I get an email that they are being bought by Best Buy! (http://www.speakeasy.net/press/pr/pr032707.php)
So.. I am now in the market for a new DSL Provider. I would prefer a DSL (my own personal bias) provider in the Chicago area besides AT&T/SBC and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions..
I've browsed around dslreports and have looked at Cyberonic but other things I have heard is that thier service is declining as well. Beyond that, I could look at some regional ISP's (Interlync, SpeedNet, etc) but was hoping for some real world exeriences with people here..
