[ale] OT: Advice / help

[Nathan J. Underwood]

I've heard both good and bad about Cbeyond.  My company is a Cbeyond 
Channel Partner, and we recommend it to quite a few of our clients.  
Thus far, we've got clients running the BV1 (single T-1) and BVIII 
(three T-3's), and none have had any real trouble (there has been an 
issue with bubba and the backhoe).  I've heard from a number of other 
people though that have had nothing but trouble.
