I had telocity and it was awesome, had it before the big telocity push a years back, hardware DSL modem was great. when direct tv bought them out and things started going downhill fast, and when they quit providing service I had to switch to bellsouth, and with the same copper I went from 1.6Mbps to 1.4/1.2
I love directtv sat, and still use it, but they don't know how to run broadband, even the sat based stuff.
