I'm also in Gladstone.  I was happy with the quality of skynet a year or two
ago, but I dropped them when they started requiring SSNs for new customers,
which I find objectionable.

After that, I switched to grapevine.  They're pretty good, but not as good as
skynet was.  On a couple of occasions their main inbound sendmail would stop
over a weekend, and it wouldn't get fixed until Monday.

Both have (or had) shell accounts, which are nice.

When I switched to high-speed, I tried to get DSL but they were out of
capacity, whatever that means.  I have RR now, which is okay, not as bad as
you'd expect from the feedback and their Redmondian leanings.
