<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've used c-Beyond for several years (shared
T-1, phones & internet.) We've had maybe 2 or 3 brief outages (one
caused by BellSouth clipping the wrong wire, another when the
c-Beyond supplied APC UPS powering the switch died, maybe one other due to
lightening?). They've been generally responsive, the tech support folks
reasonbly well qualified. Bandwidth never quite hits advertised peaks, which the
sales guys will warn you about beforehand. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Generally I'd say they're pretty much adequate
without being exciting. Should we find a cheaper alternative offering
significantly greater bandwidth, we'll probably think pretty hard about
switching. Til then, we'll just keep rocking along...</FONT></DIV>
