[Klepinger, Aaron]

A friend of mine uses CBeyond and has occasional 5 minute outages, but
nothing major.

I've heard both good and bad about Cbeyond.  My company is a Cbeyond
Channel Partner, and we recommend it to quite a few of our clients.  
Thus far, we've got clients running the BV1 (single T-1) and BVIII
(three T-3's), and none have had any real trouble (there has been an
issue with bubba and the backhoe).  I've heard from a number of other
people though that have had nothing but trouble.
