Go for it. I too use RawBandwidth, since October last year and have only
good things to say about this ISP. RawBandwidth with it's DSL service is
better than PacBell with T-1. PacBell doesn't provide the following
services to full T-1 subscribers: time, news groups, router support, etc.
so it's not hard to imagine how poor their DSL support is.

I hope RawBandwidth stays in business in this hard time.
