[ale] News on ATLNet

[Ankur Chatterjee]

I work for an Atlanta based ISP named 5Star Communications. We have
T1/Dialup services and we provide static IPs and I can arrange for RDNS as
well, which I know were major selling points for ATLNet. I'm not one to do
cheap plugs at another company's demise, but I figured I'd mention it if
anyone needed a quick new provider. I can be reached at ankur at 5sc.net.
ATLNet had its praises sung by a lot of the users on this list, I'm
sincerely sorry to see them go. Best regards, and happy holidays...

It is a shame.  Todd wasn't perfect, but he'd work with you.  He's
terribly knowledgable as well.  I'd say he provided the best support of
any provider I've used thus far and also had the best uptime as well.
Todd's greatest failing was that he was stretched too thin, although he
probably couldn't do anything about that.  He was the consumate one man
show.

I've signed up with speedfactory, I'll let folks know how it goes.  I
never did get billed for going over limit with Todd, although I'm sure I
must have at least a couple months.
