Used CBeyond in our Dallas and Atlanta offices for several years and been quite OK with their service. Had to move away from them as part of a company-wide 18 office shift to Qwest MPLS (nightmare experience in itself and still incomplete after six months).<div>
<br></div><div>However trying to leave Cbeyond is proving to be exceptionally difficult. They are doing as much as possible to delay and obstruct the porting of numbers to new providers - been paying double bills for several months now while they continue to come up with reasons why the order cannot be completed.</div>

I've used c-Beyond for several years (shared T-1, phones &<br>
internet.) We've had maybe 2 or 3 brief outages (one caused by BellSouth<br>
clipping the wrong wire, another when the c-Beyond supplied APC<br>
UPS powering the switch died, maybe one other due to lightening?). They've<br>
been generally responsive, the tech support folks reasonbly well<br>
qualified. Bandwidth never quite hits advertised peaks, which the sales<br>
guys will warn you about beforehand.<br>
<br>
Generally I'd say they're pretty much adequate without being exciting.<br>
Should we find a cheaper alternative offering significantly greater<br>
bandwidth, we'll probably think pretty hard about switching. Til then,<br>
we'll just keep rocking along...<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

I have a friend doing contract work for them now. I'll have lunch with him<br>
later this week. Do you need feedback right away?<br>
