Speakeasy has excellent customer service, however if they end up escalating
an issue to Covad or Qwest, be prepared to wait for a long time.   We recently
had an outage that went for 5 days without resolution.   Turns out it was a 
bad DSL modem.   It took an onsite visit from Covad to discover this.

Aside from that, the Speakeasy service has been rock solid for about a year
and a half.  We had Qwest service in the same house before, and it was 
horrible.
