Then they should have gone ADSL2+M, it would be worth it if you could run a server at 3Mb up.
That's not their choice, that's Covad's choice. And you can thank Earthlink for the new DSLAMs.

Speakeasy always struck me as a marketing phenomena more than anything else. I tried them for awhile and the support absolutely sucked. I've worked at two other ISPs that resell Covad with their own transit and I never quite "got" the SE buzz. Still don't.

Must depend on when you were a customer. I used Speakeasy in the very early days and they were amazing. You could call at 2AM with a routing problem, the tech who picked up the phone actually knew what you were asking about and could fix it online while you waited. They never were the cheapest, but where they were available, you couldn't do any better.

When the FCC killed mandatory line sharing at a reasonable rate, that was the end.
