I had a great experience with Speedfactory as my dialup provider
(seems like a thousand years ago), and their reputation on the list
contributed a lot to my choice of DSL providers. My getting surprised
by pppoe was my own fault; should've RTFFAQ more carefully.  Now I
just have a little unplanned research to do before my service gets
provisioned on Wednesday (a mere 6 days after ordering!).
