I've used zipcon for about three years now. I only use them for shell
access. Service has been *great* on the shell side of the house. I know Dan
(the owner) has had some dialup issues (telco's issue), but otherwise it's been
like a rock. (not that I've used it; he posts emails to all of his customers
with any issues with service.... very professional)
I know I've had the same pine session for over a month now.... :)
I can't speak of the dsl quality; I think they use qwest...... 'nuf said...
The shell box is Redhat 6.2, and is never overloaded. Daytime traffic is
around 10-15 light logged in users. He'll let you run background processes if
you ask nice, and they don't hog resources.
zipcon sometimes has deals for paying for a full year; ask them about it.
Overall, I'd give zipcon.net a A for service. It is a small shop, but I enjoy
the personal service. The only drawback I see is not having a national
POP... but I really don't need that anyway...
