Qwest/MSN. For the past five evenings, my internet has been dead from about 5 'till 10-12 sometime. It's extremely irritating. They're doing "maintenance", which really means "being cheapasses and not having adequate resources to handle all their customers, and saying intercourse  you to random ones who they don't feel like giving service".

The worst part is that I live in a strange area that for various reasons can't get internet besides through the phone lines (i.e., no cable or satellite, although satellite sucks anyway), so I'm stuck on poopty Qwest/MSN DSL eternally.  :robotsad:

"With a heart of furious fancies, whereof I am commander, with a burning spear and a horse of air, to the wilderness I wander."

I have NetZero dial-up. It sucks ass. No DSL services in my area.

So frustrating.

My DSL would just lose its connection randomly at any given point in the day, mutiple times daily, sometimes, even before it would connect again.

I've got Optimum Online...it's quite reliable but since we have Optimum Voice too, if my mom's on the phone the Internet slows down :P

or maybe that's because the phone is wireless and I'm on a laptop...or a combination of the two.  Whatever.

Not like your laptop is using all of the 54mbps speed anyway, the phone calls wouldn't use that much either...

I have Qwest DSL. Works perfectly fine.

Digital Subscriber lines are slow.

I've got SBC Yahoo! DSL...it's alright, but it could be faster.
No service outages, though.
