I've been quite happily with Rawbandwith under SBC for several years now
(static IP for the price of dynamic, significant technical clue, very
rapid response even on weekends for things like reverse DNS setups (2
hours before its broadcast for a request after 17:00 on a Sunday!)).  

A few months ago I lost link.

Long story short.  Some of Rawbandwidth's equipment in the CO had died
(required full replacement).  Longer story shorter: I had link less than
three hours later.  

I've no argument with service like that from either SBC or Rawbandwith.

Mike Durkin has a tight shop there.
