Mark,
I like sbcglobal.net. I've had verrrry few problems with them. I asked for and got a
homerun line installed under my house, when I got the service (an extra $200.00; SBC is
my telephone provider; that's why I went with them (because I wanted the homerun)).
I've not had any problems with speed or line interference. I have no filters inside the
house (only the inline filter on the telephone box outside). In the 2 years that I've had
DSL, the service has been down twice for short periods of time (a couple of hours each)
and I've had to reset my DSL modem maybe twice.

From the start, they answered all my questions and inquired several times about the
quality of their service and my level of satisfaction.

Now, SBC does filter my mail for known viruses. I cannot stop that, but I don't mind it,
either. I can setup my own spam filtering, using their online filtering, or not, as I please. I
have 10 E-Mail accounts (the main and nine subs).
