Yea, but they were stereotypically bad. Every call started with "reboot your
modem" no matter what I said. For months I had a problem where every week day,
starting around 3:30PM, througput would drop about 90%. I suspected it was
due to school being let out and people arriving home and jumping online.

A traceroute showed response times from a gateway four hops away in the seconds.
After "rebooting" the modem, the next question was always "What version of
Windows are you running?" Trying to explain that the DSL gateway was connected
to a switch with many systems on it (none running Windows) didn't get me
anywhere. Trying to explain that I could see the long delays at a downstream
router didn't help either. Several times they insisted on sending a tech to the
house to check things, with the threat that if anything was bad inside the
house I would be charged. Of course nothing ever was wrong; strong signal and
all that.

When I finally was able to switch and dump DSL, the tech who came out to do the
disconnect told me that they won't turn it back on; no new DSL accounts. That
indicated to me that they would never fix the problems I had.
