Yes.  For about a week.  I ditched it, and went back to a proper,
clueful, professional provider!  

Their traffic shaping is Draconian, their speeds are generally
appalling, and they have frequent outages.  

Also - if you go with them, don't tell them you use Linux.  I was told
that I "only use Linux so you can "hack" our machines and try to change
your service" and that they would terminate my service unless I started
to use Windows....  

I told them to go forth and multiply, and then I got my money back!
