They've been like this since, well, since at least 1996. They had an
excuse in the early days, when ISPing was new, but it started getting
really bad around 2001 and, as far as I can tell, never improved (but
I left in '03 so maybe it got better after that, ha ha fat chance).

Routing failures, authentication failures, billing failures, packet loss
like confetti, a day didn't pass without some part of their
infrastructure that you relied upon falling over.
