I have been with Speakeasy for several months now and the up time
has been excellent. They have taken the system down two or three
times for maintenance and have warned me in advance each time -- and
done the work between 2300 and 0500.  The only difficulty I have had
with Speakeasy is that every once in a while I will lose DNS access
for 5-15 minutes or so. This has happened maybe three or four times
in the past four months.
