I started with them in mid-January when my DirecTV line conked out and 
they had quit even answering the phone. (Not quite quit billing yet, but 
VISA took care of that!)

I have been quite happy with their support and the service is fine. I got 
2 static IPs, several e-mails (only use 2), and their lower-speed 
'SysAdmin' account for ~$60/mo. (Cheapest I found for static IP.)

I do find their support exceptional. Usually quick to get to (hold-time 
estimate on their web page), 1 shell account, you can run Perl if you want 
(but they warn you're unsupported for that), and I had the impression they 
run quite a lot of Linux.

Today they told me how to configure Pine for authorization to their news 
server - immediate answer to the phone  and about 30 sec. for the service 
person to tell me how to include my SE user name in the server definition.

I'm just praying for their commercial success.
