[ale] Bellsouth DSL

[M Raju]

Speedfactory has very little control when it comes to problems created
by BellSouth. Recently "somehow" my ADSL service got switched to
BellSouth and took Speedfactory 10 days to restore it. Of course all
my mail and other hosted material at home were off-line. My feelings
towards BellSouth -> !@#F$%^K&*!!!!! ;-)
