Yes I have. Aren't they the people who were engaged in a long-running criminal conspiracy to break the law and commit illegal warrantless surveillance of American citizens? If you look at the reviews here: http://www.dslreports.com/gbu/ they are a distinct second-class ISP, with average B scores. Perhaps that's better than "rubbish", but it's nothing to be proud about when you are a company the size of AT&T. When you have that many resources, anything less than straight A+ is a failure. And that's not even mentioning their lack of News access, their ham- fisted and clueless blocking of 4chan (whether in legitimate self-defence or not), or their stance on net neutrality. But the really sad thing is that you think that "bigger" automatically equals "better". -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
