You probably remember that it was a combination of Speakeasy and Covad that put me through months of frustration when I was trying to get DSL installed a couple years ago. Both companies were far more interested in having someone else in the horrible tangled loop solve my problems; at no point did it seem like anyone at Speakeasy was paying the least attention to the specifics of the problem, and eventually it was a Verizon engineer who determined what I should have been told at the start: that it was impossible to install DSL with my phone line. I heard nothing further from Speakeasy except one last cheeky billing attempt.

Anyway. This isn't an "I told you so"; I'm just posting this because a few other folks have said they've had no problem with Speakeasy. My experience was so negative I'd never consider using them, and have steered people away from them. I'm beginning to wonder whether Speakeasy is a good provider so long as there's no serious trouble.

That's one of the most careful and respectful newspaper pieces I have ever seen about fandom, or a fan. Thank you for linking to it. Jeez, somehow I had missed the fact that Warner taught himself seven languages.
